YES, guerilla enterprise is the key to freedom.......strong cyrptography, public-key, anonymity, digital currency, integrated hand held devices, wifi, p2p....these things could be very helpful.
in 1998 russia had an economic crisis, and some dudes with a few computers and an internet connection started webmoney, a non-banking online solution which is a basket of currencies (including gold i believe).
when the old system collapses markets will become ungovernable.

christianity in its current form is hardly a model of freedom. In fact groups like Focus on the Family and the Cornerstone Foundation exist with a mission of "taking back America for Christ." Most of their time and effort is spent jockeying for more power and government influence so they can pass laws that force non-Christians to live by THEIR morals. The best example of this is the whole debate on gay marriage.

All well and good but when the old system collapses do you really expect all your high tech to keep working?

The problem arises when you start telling other people that YOUR interpretation of God is the one they MUST believe.

love it.

what an utterly ludicrous claim. Gays are not out there demanding that people only be allowed to have homosexual marriages. They are not demanding that the government codify THIER idea of marriage as the only one that legally exists. Notice that I specified Christianity IN ITS CURRENT FORM. Although God created all people with free will Christians have no problem robbing others of that free will and justifying it with a passage from the bible. Philosophy of freedom my ass.

but if you were to shoot and possibly kill someone who is trying to impede on your rights [we seem to be of like mind that they are not given nor taken away, we're born with them and they're unbounded] you'd be a violent person. and there's almost no need for violence at all. you'd simply have to organize to avoid violent confrontation. it may come anyway, but organization can ALWAYS trump violence. always.

God doesn't grant me any rights, the only thing that gives me rights is my willingness to pull the trigger on anyone who tries to take them away.

hibraisil, you refer to organisations, not to philosophy. Where is your actual gripe with Christianity?
Re the debate on homosexual marriage, the issue is that some homosexuals are demanding that others honor and reward them for having sex with others of the same sex by instituting same-sex marriage laws. They are trying to impose their moral standard that homosexual behavior is good on those who disagree. That does not further freedom. It attacks it!

If your rights are not given to you by GOD, then they are given by man. Therefore society can grant or deny you rights. Your rights become dependent on the whim of the opinion of polite society.
If your rights are God-given, then society cannot remove you of your rights. You may have to fight for recognition of those rights, but they are yours by the fact of your creation in the image of the almighty.
The FSP makes me laugh. Remove NH from the union and the newly independent NH will fail in no time at all. All those people who live in NH and work in Mass will lose their jobs. All those people from Mass who come to NH to spend money won't be able to come in without passports and thus will find it too much of a hassle to shop here. All those rich kids from NY at Dartmouth will suddenly be "international students" and will probably be denied entry into the state. That's what the FSP wants.

nah most free staters are open border types. Besides the idea in this vid is to keep the union intact but largely set aside its central government.
To paraphrase what Woods says in the next video...what would we ever do without this parasitic anchor that rules over 300 million people like they were a village...."
