Closed For Business

I’m making it official.  The Guerrilla Capitalist, as a blog is closed for business.

Instead, I have moved to a new home and re-established myself at .urbandissent.  I apologise for the inconvenience for anyone that visits here regularly or has linked here prior.

My decision has been made, mostly because, “The Guerrilla Capitalist,” was a poor choice of name.  I originally created the blog when I was much more sympathetic to Anarcho-Capitalism, I did not have any positive or negative feelings toward the label ‘Capitalist’ either way.  I had then heard the term, ‘Guerrilla Capitalism’ used as a description for black market activity and I found it quite an amusing term for, “Agorist” which certianly wasn’t a smart move when you consider that I will argue that Agorism and Anarcho-Capitalism are not the same.  That was back in the days of Blogger, before I had gotten serious about blogging and looked deeper into Anarchism.  I had the basics down, but I need more advanced insight.

I then moved here, to wordpress.  Set up the new home of the Guerrilla Capitalist and off I went, gradually getting better at writing, analysis and learning more.   I’ve had some good posts and bad posts.  For that reason I will keep this blog alive and not delete it, so that way it stands as an archive of my growth and development, for I have nothing to be embarrassed about.  Occasionally I screwed up, and I will probably do so again.  I will be taking a few posts over to the new blog, because I feel they are important — particularly my collection of information regarding the recent situation in Greece.

Hopefully, .urbandissent will provide for me a clean slate from which I can do things better.  I am well aware that the ‘Guerrilla Capitalist’ title has lost me credibility in some circles, and indeed, it has come to the point where I now cringe whenever I think of calling myself the ‘Guerrilla Capitalist.’  But I have now rectified that with this long overdue move.  I invite you all to come visit me in my new home, from time to time.

.urbandissent

Yours unfaithfully,

Royce

Possible Name/Location Change: the death of the guerrilla capitalist?

The name of this blog has been on my mind for a considerable amount of time now.  In the past I have been too busy to change it, at the moment I am too damned lazy.  But I am, as it were, considering the options for a relocation or a simple name change of this blog.

I understand that it’s quite possible many visitors to the site don’t find the term, ‘The guerrilla capitalist,’ at all as witty or amusing as myself, and keeping the name may certainly affect whether I am read.  The only problem I have is the possibility that all the links to the blog will then be ‘incorrect’ if there is a sudden name change and I equally do not feel at all like ‘exporting’ the hundred+ posts I have to a new location.

I am going to take some time to mull things over and investigate my options.  But I thought I’d make it public.

Shit.

Sorry to everyone that has left a commnet on this blog in the last month.  In trying to delete a comment left by some ranting Indonesian extremist (it’s good to see the religious crazys mix things up a little) I inadvertantly deleted all comments after becomming distracted and checking the wrong box.  I can’t apologise enough for this error.
