I could have sworn that I seen an anarch.me version of one these signature banners around here but I can't quite remember for sure if I did or not. Please tell me there is one and that I'm not seeing things haha. Kind of want to use one in my signature on other forums. =)

I also believe that all of these things are synergistic, and not at odds. I believe this, because I have met thousands of freedom lovers, and all of them have different skills that they are best at.
I suggest that free market advocates follow their talents, and stop fighting with one another. There is very little irreconcilable difference between libertarians, capitalists, free market advocates, anarchists, anarcho-whatever, copyLeft advocates, open sourcers, laissez-faire, classical liberals, etc...
Yet we spend the majority of our time talking and arguing amongst ourselves, and having zero effect on the public debate.
Instead of optimizing our effect against the informational structure of the state, we practice hatred and division amongst ourselves.
Soon, I will begin to practice jury rights activism, as soon as my book and activist website are complete. I will be out there every day, with a video camera. The state will attack me, and try to put me in prison. I know this, because it is the first thing I am always threatened with.
...But it won't go that way for long. In the end, I will succeed or die trying.
This is what online libertarian-anarchists are afraid of. The power of the state. This is why they stay online, instead of entering meatspace, and demanding change.
In just one week in Alaska, I watched the LP win the public's attention, by attending city council meetings, and demanding that individual rights be protected, not violated. Therefore, I can never say that Libertarians are bad, even though they favor using the machinery of the state against the state.
They are one increment along the path to freedom. There are enough anarcho-capitalists within the LP to win over those who are thinkers. Moreover, the public spectacle of such an ongoing battle gains more media attention than this entire blog, and everything that SEK3 ever wrote.
Not to diss SEK3. ...But I do think his advice to avoid the LP was seriously counterproductive.
I took a step towards anarchism from leftism 8.5 years ago, because of Ayn Rand's books, the LP, and Harry Browne's writings. Ayn Rand was a minarchist who never answered the question of voluntary financing of government, except to say that "eventually, that is the goal."
She erected more incremental steps between now and then, than I am comfortable with.
...But I am least comfortable with remaining an abject SLAVE!
