"Voluntaryism is the doctrine that relations among people should be by mutual consent, or not at all. It represents a means, an end, and an insight. As it is the means which determine the end, the goal of an all voluntary society must be sought voluntarily. People cannot be coerced into freedom. Hence, the use of the free market, education, persuasion, and non-violent resistance are the primary ways to change people’s ideas about the State." - Carl Watner

Voluntaryism is a philosophy which holds that all forms of human association should be voluntary. The purpose of this subreddit is to share and discuss all things voluntaryism, which includes: anarchism, free markets, agorism, non-violent resistance, peaceful parenting, radical unschooling, and self-improvement.

    We Didn't Start The Fire

    I listened to the song again and "Wow! The history."

    Also, it would be awesome if someone wrote an updated version. If you were writing it, what would you include?

    Beyond School and Schooling

    Leonardo da Vinci and Ben Franklin were not educated in any of the ways available today. Most of the geniuses throughout human history, in fact, were not schooled, homeschooled or unschooled. How were they educated then and does it answer the cries of children today?

    Protests re Roe v Wade

    This is going to be interesting to watch. The same people who have been screaming about the January 6th "insurrection" being such a horrific violation of the holy state and laws of the land are now so fired up that they're going full on hold my beer.

    Hope ya'all have popcorn, the show's just beginning!

    If you don’t like Joe Rogan or the so called misinformation he presents in his podcast, then you don’t have to listen to him. It’s that simple.
