The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

• Albert Camus

The best way to take down the state is to live your life as an act of rebellion. Agorism has been around as long as humanity has. This is a guide to look at your life choices through that lens.

Agorism is a free-market anarchist philosophy that advocates achieving freedom through nonviolent and peaceful black market and grey market economics. This philosophy has been around for as long as humanity has existed. Agorist degrees help you look at your life choices through the lens of agorism. They are a self-assessment tool designed to help those in the network map out the options they have when it comes to unplugging themselves from the coercive system, or being part of the movement to create alternatives to the coercive Statist paradigm. Think of it as an anarchist version of a New Year’s resolution list.

This does not prescribe any specific action. We have suggestions here and more information in other publications on how you can achieve your goals without changing every single aspect of your life. 

The main question we are focused on is: Are you living your life in a way that, should others follow your example, would eventually lead to the abolishment of the slavery that is government?

We only need a certain amount of people to change their actions to defund the state and to create, fund, and help grow agorist alternatives. You can create spaces of freedom in the world today!

We are encouraging people to assess themselves on several areas of their life. They can use these pages, if they choose, to do a self assessment on several areas of their choice. This can be used to create a ‘star plot’ or graph resembling a web on which they are or ought to be spending their energy. 

If our energy is being put towards endeavors that do not create lasting results in our lives, we need to explore options that better suit our needs and desires. Most people don’t have the means currently to live the exact calling they feel they are here to do, or even utilize what they imagine would be the most effective use of their time and energy. However, agorism provides a much greater chance of success with these desires.

This guide is a way for those who participate in the assessment to notate what they have achieved so far and to brainstorm actionable ways to achieve more in the future.

You can formulate an achievement map, or ‘star plot’ by choosing five or more areas that you want to work to develop at this time. You can choose these from the reference page titled Major Areas of Achievement or create your own.

The next step is to look at the reference ranking systems and decide what level you would say you have already achieved. This is just a personal assessment, and there are no right answers. For example, you may have achieved:

Write your current levels in the areas you have chosen in the outlined title boxes on your Areas Of Development page. Now, for each of your 6 areas, create your own ‘steps to achievement’. This is a list of 3-5 steps you can take forward in each chosen Major Area of your life. Reference the Minor Achievements Page, or make your own. Choose achievements that you are excited to reach! Then, order them in any loose logical progression. Fill these out under each header box of your Areas Of Development page. For example:

Use these ordered lists of goals to create your web, noting what level you are starting from as well as what level you are hoping to achieve.
