Stop feeding the beast. Create and support the free market, support agorist enterprises, avoid using credit cards or bank instruments and in stead grow the counter economy. It doesn't matter how/where/when you do it, but if you're not finding, connecting with and supporting the free market options in your area, you're not going to survive the coming crisis.

Ahahahah ! Leeches and idiots will always exist. These initiatives will never be adopted by everyone because there are too many people on Earth and it would be impossible to feed everyone. But if some people start adopting this lifestyle, the world will definitely be a better place.

A refreshing take on the potential impact of alternative economic lifestyles. Sawdust has a lot of fiber in it also. I mix it with my oatmeal in the morning. I'm still looking for the best type of tree that tastes the best and doesn't have a lot of sap.

"But who will build the roads?!?!"
This question at first seems reasonable until your eyes are opened and you realize.
A. The roads we have suck.
B. Private companies build the roads now...
The question is who will pay for building the roads? Many answers to this. No need for violence to build roads....

Specifically on the topic of drug legalization... how will agorist societies deal with abusers of drugs? Let them suffer the consequences on their own (no help from the state?) Rely on private charity / good-will to help these people?
I've long thought that one of the most challenging aspects of society is that somehow most people are not okay with letting people live with the consequences of their choices.
If someone shoots up meth and becomes an addict and is dying on the street, somehow people think that this person still deserves help, and they are willing to use compulsion from the state (e.g. the tax system) to ensure that these people are helped. Is this fair? Regardless of what you think, it seems like most people desire that state of affairs.

The answer as is the answer to all of these types of questions is... no one knows. But yeah, I can see charities and religious orgs doing what they have and still do. Helping people that want help. We have been under the state so long we have forgotten what people can do together when they need to do something.
Here's the deal. It doesn't matter if a person deserves help or what you or I think. The state steal our money and uses it for whatever. In a free society each person would make decisions about who to help and how their money is used.
The state is basically a massive corporation with no profit motive that isn't accountable to shareholders. It tries to do pretty much everything. Uses guns to enforce its will and when it sucks at something just takes more money to "fix" their failure.
Most people that love the state or even believe in it to any degree would be appalled if Amazon bought out the car companies, power companies, and a few other industries. They seem unfazed that one institution has monopolies on even more important things like security, education, and the legal system. The idea that a politician could be qualified for what they do is absurd on its face. We really only believe it because we are taught it. Because our social circles believe it. I firmly believe that few would come up with the systems we have if they started from scratch.
With the tech we have now there are few reasons for large nation states to exist. At best you should have federations of small voluntary city states.
