BUCK the System! (in a practical way)
Back on the subject of individual support of Counter-Economic activities as a means of
living outside the slave-masters' system... I couldn't remember if I had ever posted or run across any posts on this forum that discuss the many barter networks that are out there?
http://www.lets-linkup.com/ - Is one such example of many "LETS - Local Exchange Trading Systems" websites available on the web. LETS groups are forming all over the place, and can be found in many regions throughout the world. This is not just a spin-off of such ideas as Craig's List; rather, you will find after a little bit of searching, people who are eager to trade 'value for value.'
People trade services, for goods... Goods for goods, and all the rest. The success of Counter-Economic activity relies on a broad network of people all over the world who are interested in
real mutually valuable exchanges
without the looters' grubby little hands reaching in to get a piece of whatever is being traded.
Start thinking about all of the ways that trade can be accomplished without the need for "cash." Join or start a barter network and begin to realize the instant gratification you can enjoy in your new found [incremental] liberty. We all enter into various forms of "exchange" virtually every day. Why not make it count?
This is where the rubber meets the road. Not in doggone voting booths! Not in standing around holding signs, or brow beating other people in some effort to 'convert' them. Those things all have their place (except for voting, of course), but this is real, and has an impact on ourselves as individuals. Not to mention it is NOT supportive of their corrupt scheme!
