Agorism is the practice of counter-economics and the ideas associated with tat practice. Agorist ideas assert that Libertarian philosophy occurs in practice, in the real world, as Counter-Economics. Although very similar to anarcho-capitalism, Agorism is explicitly opposed to political elections and and parliamentary strategies. Some Agorists oppose intellectual property; some allow for certain forms of intellectual property.

Many anarcho-capitalists and Voluntaryists are practicing agorists. There is no definitive policy statement from the any authoritative leader of agorism because agorism is decentralized and non-hierarchical by definition.

Agorism (based on the principle of counter-economics) promotes withdrawing from the state and using counter-economic activities to minimize what a person contributes to the state in the form of taxes, license fees, and so forth.
