Is there a spot here for an individualist anarchist?

[Emile Armand]

I am a individualist anarchist and I was wondering if I would fit in here. Are there any other individualists here? You can probably tell by my name that Emile Armand is one of my biggest influences.

That depends on what you mean by individualist anarchism.

Q: How many individualist-anarchists do you need to change the lightbulb?
A: 1

Welcome.

[Emile Armand]

That depends on what you mean by individualist anarchism.
And why is that?

[Weezer]

Of course there's more than one individualist anarchist here! We'll just throw you in the Opposing Ideologies, with the rest of them. :) Also:

Hi...welcome to the Proletariat's Forum. Beware of Wallmasters. :ninja:

And why is that?

some people who claim to be inderidualist anarchists are really anarco-capitalists

And how on earth is Individualist Anarchism an opposing ideology?

[Nolan]

What do you mean by individualist? Or better yet, is your individualism opposed to collectivism? And if so, what do you see as collectivism? I think you'll find that individualism and collectivism are not contradictory, but in fact cannot exist without each other and compliment each other.

Anyway, if you turn out to be an apologist for capitalism you will promptly be hanged, drawn, and quartered, and your head will be mailed to the Ludwig von Mises Institute. If not, then the answer is yes and welcome! :)

Fan of Mises, Rothbard, Rand and their types? If not, welcome and enjoy your stay. :)

Agorism, anarcho-capitalism...etc.

Mutualists are sort of a gray area.

No, no. I think you misunderstand what I mean when I say "Individualist Anarchist", or you are unfamiliar with individualist anarchism. My political philosophies are mostly inspired by people like Emile Armand and to some extent Max Stirner. I am a socialist and for the most part my views are the same as any other Anarchist. Granted Max Stirner never called himself an Anarchist he hung around the likes of Karl Marx and has been one of the largest influences to Anarchist philosophy.

This will be interesting...

[gorillafuck]

It depends if that individualism translates into capitalism.

Welcome!

Fan of Mises, Rothbard, Rand and their types?They aren't individualist anarchists, though. I wouldn't call anarcho-capitalism a part of individualist anarchism. Mises was a minarchist, Rand as well. Ayn Rand was also very anti-anarchist and a supporter of capitalism. Also, I find many of her beliefs reactionary and harmful to the workers and the people.

Anyway, from what I've understood, individualist anarchism can be split into two parts: Mutualism and egoism. You seem to support the "egoist" part, correct? I have to admit that I don't know much about it, but nevertheless I welcome you to the boards! :lol:

I am an individualist anarchist myself, although of the mutualist brand.


I think you'll find that individualism and collectivism are not contradictory, but in fact cannot exist without each other and compliment each other.I don't think many anarchists think voluntary collectivism, such as anarcho-collectivism or anarcho-communism, is bad. Forced collectivism, however, they oppose.
