The Guerrilla Capitalist — a term used to describe individuals working amongst black markets which has found itself employed as a facetious label for Agorists.

In keeping with the tradition of referencing those timeless lyricisms of the Stones, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Royce Christian and I am an Anarchist, Agorist and aspiring writer. For the average person, whom I assume is recoiling in horror some time around now, I am not the bomb wielding, destructive, crazed lunatic portrayed in film, media and government propaganda. Such a thing could not be further from the truth. In fact my understanding of the world and adherence to Anarchist principles is the product of much thought and serious consideration. I have arrived at these conclusions not through youthful rebelliousness or misanthropic, anti-social awkwardness but through the desire for freedom and liberty. Thinkers old and new continue to influence my thoughts, which seem to be a strange mixture of Egoism, Mutualism, Individualist Anarchism and a degree of Anarcho-Capitalism. Generally, I’m an Anarchist. Specifically, a market Anarchist. But to be precise, I’m an Agorist.

In case you didn’t follow that, allow me to clarify. An Anarchist is one who opposes the existence of Government. A market Anarchist is one who proposes the market as a clear and effective alternative to the state and an Agorist is a revolutionary market Anarchist who advocates the use of counter economics to undermine the coercive monopoly of government and achieve a free society.

To those of the Anarchist persuasion who have stumbled across my tiny corner of the web and may be concerned with my orientation, I started out as an Anarcho-Communist. However I abandoned those beliefs after becoming disillusioned. I drifted, flirting with Mutualism and Individualist Anarchism, then I took up Anarcho-Communism’s counterpart, Anarcho-Capitalism. I later abandoned that for the same reason I abandoned Anarcho-Communism — I witnessed Anarchist elitism that further widens the divide between Anarchists. I later discovered Agorism, with credit to Per Bylund. Counter Economics amazed me for its elegance and efficiency and Agorism attracted me for its diversity and tolerance. I’m a market Anarchist and Agorist. If you cannot understand the difference, it is of no concern to me.

So welcome to the new home of the Guerrilla Capitalist where I will post my thoughts and musings for those willing to read them. Here, there be Anarchists.

Good day.

Royce Christian
