The Free Me Project is the market anarchist's answer to the Free State Project. It says we have to free people, not states. Its work is the evolution of humanity towards complete liberty using peaceful means while preparing liberty-lovers to not only survive but thrive in an atmosphere of aggression. It's based on the voluntaryist concept of peaceful evolution and the voluntaryist emphasis on education, non-voting and self-improvement while incorporating the revolutionary insights and strategies of agorism, the principles of open source organization that have worked so well for Linux, Wikipedia and even IBM and, perhaps surprisingly, tactical insights from the kind of resilient insurgency you see in Iraq (4th and 5th generation warfare).
So I was chatting with my buddy Joel and I said "You know, Ron Paul and the Free State Project and the Peter Schiff Money Bomb are cool and all, but what about the real fight for liberty?"
"Yeah, I know," he said. "What about the outside the system activism? How do we get this house of cards called government to collapse under the weight of its own contradictions? How do we build voluntary alternatives? How do we build coalitions with people who currently think the state has something to offer? I want real freedom for my kids at least, if not sometime before I kick the bucket."
And that, my dear reader, is what the Free Me Project is about: using the principles of liberty - peace and trade - to roll back aggression worldwide, starting with the hearts and minds of each individual on the planet. Will you join us?
For now, you can read The Free Me Project, or Worldwide Open Source Peaceful Evolution and An Early Plan for Open Source Peaceful Evolution. More information coming soon.
