Some Thoughts on Voluntary Education, Part 2
Column by Christopher Awuku.
Voluntaryism, Statism and the Free Rider Problem
"In a voluntaryist society, all that is necessary to deter free riders is a strong protection of property rights, plus extending base aspects of free association." Column by Christopher Awuku.
Voluntaryism: Voluntary Action Summed Up
"Left-anarchists should also realise that a voluntaryist society would not necessarily exclude them from achieving their own brand of happiness.

Some Thoughts on Voluntaryist Education and Outreach
"...Stefan Molyneux has spoken of how people in everyday life do not initiate force or fraud against person or property to get what they desire, need and long for in life.....Healthy society doesn't usually operate on the usage of force. This is an important point to outline when speaking with those close to you." Column by Christopher Awuku.
"Since government is the enemy of liberty, knowing how government works and how exactly it initiates force against my life is crucial to such a goal." Column by Christopher Awuku.
How Far Should Self-Ownership Go?
"To a libertarian, the only issue should be whether an initiation of force or fraud occurred against the person or property of another human being. If not, then really, shouldn't anything go?" Column by Christopher Awuku.
"A wealthy person is freer to live his life in accordance with his own values and wishes, over somebody who always worries where the next meal is coming from. In my opinion, libertarians in general should place more thought into how the poorer sections of society can be aided within 'libertopia'." Column by Christopher Awuku.
'DRO' Protection: An Example of How It Could Work
"Imagine if Dave and Tanya still lived under the dominion of the state. Could Dave choose which level of protection he required, and what protection suited his family's needs? Could he even choose protection based upon his own personal values?" Column by Christopher Awuku.
This market anarchist doesn't. Column by Christopher Awuku.
Free Market Education? You've Got to Be Off Your Trolley!
Column by Christopher Awuku.
Jury Trials: Are They Really 'More Libertarian'?
"Of course, in the free society, law courts would compete within the free market. Yes, some court systems may opt for jury trials. Still, jury trials would not be a necessity in the free society." Column by Christopher Awuku.
"If we own ourselves and our minds, then we should be free to choose our own values. And who really is to say what values one can or cannot hold?" Column by Christopher Awuku.

Reparations and the Stateless Society
"Imagine if the British government did pay up. Well, how would they have obtained the money to present reparations to the scion of slaves? Of course it would have been by taxation. Why should stolen funds be used in the present to appease people upset by past injustices?" Column by Christopher Awuku.

Immigration and Market Anarchy: How the Stateless Society's Overhaul Can Be Prevented
"If we are to be realistic, then we must realise that some form of governmental arrangement must exist for the concept of closed borders to be viable....The question must be asked, how should this be funded? Well, like all government programmes and policies, it is funded via force and coercion." Column by Christopher Awuku.
Humans Are Inclined to Submit to Authority: Oh Really?
"Market anarchy presents itself as a feasible means of organising society, since it involves voluntary human associations and interactions. Without an inherent need to submit to others, people would voluntarily choose with whom to associate." Column by Christopher Awuku.
