"Agorists regard this counter-​economy as a form of nonviolent direct action, a method of simultaneously challenging and evading state power, in the process building a free society based on the principles of unrestricted voluntary exchange."

"Slowly and steadily, the counter-​economy results in infrastructural substitution, the replacement of the increasingly atrophic state with networks of voluntarily cooperating and trading individuals."

"The Internet seems almost tailor made for the kinds of circumvention and anti-​state counter institutions championed by agorism.

"...Agorism’s individualistic, anti-​authoritarian flavor finds a natural home in hacker culture and what Konkin called 'the free-​market anarchist haven known as the Internet.'"
