I get it now! This thread has opened my eyes! To advance liberty, I must engage the simpleton, Kardashian-fan, smartphone addicts in a popularity contest, win their trust by working a job that probably means nothing and pretending I serve some great role in society, and not making a scene, keeping my mouth shut. But bitching on the internet for teh winz.
Fail troll.
No, I would not–not aggression anyway. If you violated the NAP that would be something else, but you would not be aggressed against by any jurisdiction to force a jurisdiction on you.
You would be defined as an unincorporated person in the territory, someone without citizenship. You would still have your rights protected as a matter of due course. You’d be akin to a tourist in your own country. There would be no such thing as illegal immigration in this place, so you would not be kicked out without cause.
But, unless you started your own charter city and your own jurisdiction, you would find yourself living in someone else’s jurisdiction, which would be purely private property, meaning if you’re on their property then you have already agreed to live by the rules of their jurisdiction. There is no public property in this place.
This is necessary for purely voluntary transactions to rule. Thus, as an unincorporated person, you would either agree to abide by the rules of the local jurisdiction, or you would move outside all jurisdictions with rules.
Now, because legal experimentation is highly encouraged by the model I’m creating, you’d probably have little trouble finding some charter-regions that are attempting to produce an anarchist government (contradiction in terms?) meaning they create a jurisdiction with no controlling entity inside its borders, no rules, nothing. You’d be free to go there, and free to pass through other regions as long as you did so reasonably (without damaging things, etc).
But, if at any point you break the NAP, then anyone can hold you to account, unincorporated or not.
Does that answer all the possible angles?
I do not recognize your authority, nor will I ever choose to do so; I will not pay any taxes, nor will I abide by any laws that I personally do not consent to.
This is exactly what I want every citizen to say! I want each person to abide only by the laws they consent to, and recognize the authority of only those they give it to, and only pay the taxes they agree to pay.
Yes, that’s exactly what I want. And this may be the first proposed government system that could make it a reality, certainly the first I’ve ever seen. It is a min-cap system, or actually i’ve come up with a better term recently: essentialist. I am no longer min-cap, the better term is, I am an essentialist, limiting government to its absolute minimum essentials, including protection of individual rights and national defense. Maybe voluntary-essentialist would be even better.
This is an interesting position. I have one question: if taxation is voluntary then how is this a government?

I love the internet
There’s nothing libertarian about the Occupy movement.
I’m with you there. But libertarians should go to these people and try to set them straight. There was a Ron Paul tent in Philly which did a good job of educating people to realize the real causes of the financial meltdown and why Dr. Paul will fix it.

You don’t know anything about the FSP. New Hampshire is now home to a thriving liberty movement. Theres now over 1000 libertarian movers and every single one of them is active in their own way. NH will probably legalize marijuana within the next few years and is on its way towards privatizing gov. schools. The occupy in NH has been a huge failure but the FSP is doing amazing things. Just ask anyone in the FSP and they’ll tell you this.
