The aynarchism mailing list is a forum for those who believe or
would like to explore the idea that a "randarchy" (Objectivist or
Rand-influenced society) could or should be an anarchy - that is,
that Ayn Rand's philosophy and social theory implies a stateless
society.

The aynarchism list is also intended as a vehicle for comparing,
contrasting and critizicing/extending Randian philosophy and
social theory with anarchist thinkers. Both anarchosocialists and
anarcho-capitalists are welcome.

NB! No minimum state vs. anarchy flame fests here! This forum is
for comparing different concepts about stateless societies and
non-authoritarian cultures.

In fact, I'd like to avoid flame fests altogether. Due to the
volatile and value-laden subject matter, the aynarchism list is
currently moderated (that is, postings are read through and
approved by a moderator before being distributed). This may change
in the future (that is, the list may become unmoderated), if
deemed appropriate.

New subscribers are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the
articles and materials in the anarchism section of the POP culture
(Premises Of Post-Objectivism) web site, see
http://www.ifi.uio.no/~thomas/po/articles.html.

You can subscribe (or unsubscribe) yourself to the aynarchism list
