Voluntaryist Academy

This incredible work is crucial to digest in order to understand the importance of criticism of the state, individualism, and ultimately Anarchism in America in the 19th century.

America was home to the first full-blown movement of individualist anarchists in the 19th and early 20th century. The author of this book on the topic adds the adjective “individualist” to distinguish them from socialists. They were champions of liberty, and, yes, they were as quirky as any movement of this sort might be. But they made mighty contributions to the history of ideas, and this book explains those contributions and the minds behind them.

The names are tragically lost to history: Benjamin Tucker, Josiah Warren, Lysander Spooner, J.K. Ingalls, among many others. They were thinkers and activists, not mere protesters or political dissidents. They had a positive agenda centered on the confidence that whatever kind of world would emerge without a state, it would be a better world than the one the state made.

The author explains that “the communist anarchists rejected private property, and taught the ideal of the collective autonomous commune. A portion of their number advocated the overthrow of the State by violence. The individualist anarchists held that the collective society in any form was an impossibility without the eventuality of authoritarianism, and ultimately, totalitarianism, and adhered resolutely to the concept of private property insofar as the term could be defined as the total product of a given individual’s labor, but not more broadly than this.”

“They abandoned the idea of an equalitarian utopia, and worked for a world free from arbitrary restrictions on opportunity and legal privilege, which breakdowns they claimed ‘laissez faire’ really produced. No other radical group denounced the prevailing system more vigorously than the spokesmen for individualist anarchism.”

James J. Martin wrote a book for the ages in 1952, a survey that is indispensable for anyone interested in the roots of modern libertarian thought. You will find these roots not in the postwar “conservatism” of the Buckley movement but much further back.(Description taken from mises.org)

The Anti-Federalist Papers are a collection of writings by opponents of the 1787 U.S. Constitution, expressing concerns about the proposed federal government's power and the potential loss of individual liberties.

These papers were authored primarily by anonymous contributors using pseudonyms such as "Brutus," "Cato," "Centinel," and the "Federal Farmer". The authors, including notable figures like Patrick Henry, George Clinton, Melancton Smith, and Elbridge Gerry, argued against the implementation of a stronger federal government without explicit protections for individual rights.

​Luemas is a truth speaker, an activist and a hip hop lyricist. Since the early to mid 90's, Luemas has been writing rhymes and was part of an underground hip hop collective. As life went on for him, he took his efforts to the stage (98-04) and became a part-time recording artist. Within that period, life began to transform for him through the use of ancient medicines. Luemas quit the system, tried to live life under his terms, and tried to become completely free.

Along his journey, in 1999, he met a former insider of an institution who broke down the way the planet really runs. This information became the platform in which he operated and built from since. He has shared his message through music, and activism. So much data and information over the years compiled within him, so in 2013, Chant it down radio was born as the new platform for the message of complete freedom.
