Individualist, Voluntaryist, and a Human Being

August 14, 2017 Parrish Miller

I am neither a communist nor a Nazi. I am neither a leftist nor a nationalist. I am an individualist, a voluntaryist, and a human being. I don’t initiate force against others and I will defend those who are victims of force initiation.

I don’t care about your birthplace, citizenship, race, or gender because those things don’t define you. I feel about religion the same way I do about veganism and crossfit—you do you, but don’t try to convert me.

I believe that if your actions neither pick my pocket nor break my leg, they’re none of my business. I believe in peaceful coexistence, voluntary transactions, and free markets.

If your worldview is similar, we will probably be friends. If it’s radically different, we probably will not.
