“Our goal is not to assume leadership of existing institutions, but rather to render them irrelevant. We don't want to take over the state or change its policies. We want to render its laws unenforceable. We don't want to take over corporations and make them more 'socially responsible.' We want to build a counter-economy of open-source information, neighborhood garage manufacturing, permaculture, encrypted currency and mutual banks, leaving the corporations to die on the vine along with the state. We do not hope to reform the existing order. We intend to serve as its grave-diggers.” WantStatesLawPurposeOrderDiesSocialGoalChangeEconomyInformationPolicySourceEconomicsResponsibleAimInstitutionsAssumingLeavingGravesReformCorporationsNeighborhoodMutualCurrencyIrrelevantManufacturingReformationGarageVinesRenderingPermacultureOpen SourceEconomic Reforms Author:Kevin Carson

“We must understand that the fact of error, demonstrated in subsequent work, does not suggest that ethical lapses are responsible.
