Agorism asserts that the Libertarian philosophical position occurs in practice, in the real world, as Counter-Economics. Although very similar to anarcho-capitalism, unlike anarcho-capitalism it opposes intellectual property, and is explicitly against voting and parliamentary strategies.
Agorism is the practise of counter-economics by persons with an understanding of libertarian theory. Many anarcho-capitalists are practising agorists. There is no definitive policy statement from the authoritative leader of agorism about intellectual property, voting, parliamentary strategies, nor anything else because there is no authoritative leader of agorism. Agorism is decentralised and non-hierarchical.
Voting and parliamentary strategies are political action, not counter-economics. As such they are unlikely to be organised as part of an agorist strategy. An agorist strategy is counter-economics consistent with libertarian theory, such as the zero aggression principle. Agorism promotes withdrawing from the state and using counter-economic activities to minimise what a person contributes to the state in the form of taxes, licence fees, and so forth.
Some agorists believe that intellectual property is valid in certain situations. Some do not.
