Re: how many ACists in the world?

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Whatever the number is, it's growing exponentially. [/ QUOTE ] So when can I stop paying taxes? [/ QUOTE ] After you've converted a hundred people, and each one of those has converted another hundred. [/ QUOTE ] So you believe that if we can get 10,000 people, we can stop paying taxes? I think we need much more than that, and they can't just be people who think AC is an okay idea. They need to be people who are willing to stop paying taxes, and suffer whatever consequences the government is able to impose. I think we need at least 1,000,000 such people before anything can be effectively done.

Re: how many ACists in the world?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Are you counting self proclaimed ACists only or all those whose principles when logically applied lead to a society without a state? [/ QUOTE ] Estimates for both would be welcome, of course, but I suppose I had in mind the people who at some point have had the conscious realization that their ideas and principles ultimately point toward a stateless society. [/ QUOTE ] The first very few the latter nearly everyone.

Re: how many ACists in the world?
Based on reading this forum, my answer would be "too many." [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Q: How can you tell an ACist from a statist? A: <font color="white">This isn't a joke, I'm actually curious, who's who in here? </font>

Re: how many ACists in the world?
Anyone who has felt the authentic joy of real intellectual community is an AC'er waiting to happen.
On the other hand, everyone who knows only the suspicious human, the small-minded human, the self-loathing, creeping human who needs the whip and the yoke...those are the statists.

Re: how many ACists in the world?
[ QUOTE ]
Anyone care to take a shot at an estimate? I'm curious about the total number of "Borodog-type" ACist's in the world -- that is, educated, productive people who have come to the AC philosophy based on reasoned economic and ethical considerations (specifically not counting the "teen angst" variety of anarchists). I'm going to throw out the first number that comes to mind -- I'm guessing that there are fewer than a million such people in the world, total. How badly wrong (or how overly safe) do you think this guess is? [/ QUOTE ] How many people dont vote? They may not be educated on the finer points of AC or even know what AC is but they are essentially living their life in an AC manner.
