I oppose the death penalty. I oppose incarceration. I oppose involuntary commitment. I oppose fines paid to the state. The only “penalty” I support is making restitution to one’s victims in the case that they suffered real and articulable harm as a direct result of one’s actions.

Offended by an Intended Victim
If it hurts your feelings to have voluntaryists point out that it’s bad for you to be cheering for widespread violent aggression, then maybe you should stop doing that!
My One Unchanging Rule
Wherever I go, wherever I am, there is one rule I live by that doesn’t change: Don’t archate. I hold myself to it, even though I don’t consider it a “thou shalt not” to be imposed on you.
The Voluntaryist Constitution, an Oxymoron?
Trey Goff had an interesting article published at Mises.org outlining what he is calling a “voluntaryist constitution.” Can such a thing even exist? I don’t believe it could exist as anything more than an ideological creed. I thought it’d be fun to scrutinize the so-called voluntaryist constitution from my particular voluntaryist perspective.
Logical and Factual
If you can’t archate and remain a good person, and cops have to archate to keep their “job”, then cops who continue to be cops can’t be good people.
Humans are Capable of Both Peace and Violence

Threatening aggression against someone who disagrees with you is a cowardly thing for a loser to resort to. It is also an indication that the statist is stupid. If you have no arguments, just threaten to punch or murder the person who exposed your lies.
What Did the Founders Really Want? (4m) – The Back Story 027
The Back Story 027 looks at the disparate views of America’s Founding Fathers.
Private Crooks vs. Public Crooks
Maybe pickpockets who mostly do petty theft are out robbing people on a daily basis, of smaller amounts, but most thieves and aggressors do not commit their crimes all that regularly. For many it’s very rare, for some just a one-time thing. Now compare that to the thieves and aggressors who work for the state.
Blaming the Victim, or Digging for Wisdom?
As a man dedicated to stopping the widespread abuse of children, I am very much an ally in this particular fight (“Me too.”). I don’t deserve to be attacked like this. These people don’t know me and the work that I do. They don’t know the trauma I’ve suffered and its long-term effects, effects that I deal with every day of my life. They were wrong to do what they did, but they are not alone in carrying responsibility.
