'''Agorism''', shortened to '''A³''' ('''Anarchy, Agora, Action'''), is an Anarchist and economically right-wing ideology.

Agorism as a political ideology is more about the means than the ends. It, in short, states that the best way to achieve a free society is peaceful, through the utilization of black and grey markets.

It was first proposed by Samuel Edward Konkin III at the conferences CounterCon I in October 1974 and in CounterCon II in May 1975.

For Agorism it is important to distinguish between Grey and Black markets and a "Red Market." Agorism only supports behavior that is either legal but outside the framework of the state system (Grey markets) or that which is Illegal but not inherently violent (Black markets,) but it does not support trade relating to things that violate the Non-Aggression Principle (The Red Market).

He supports all usage of Counter-economics defined as the sum of all non-aggressive Human Action which is forbidden by the State.<ref>"[https://web.archive.org/web/20090325044459/http://agorism.info/Counter-Economics.pdf Counter-Economics: what it is, how it works."]</ref>

Some people tend to say Agorism is a Left-Libertarian ideology<ref>[http://www.spaz.org/~dan/individualist-anarchist/software/konkin-interview.html "Smashing the State for Fun and Profit Since 1969" An Interview With the Libertarian Icon Samuel Edward Konkin III (a.k.a.

Retrieved 21 November 2019.</ref> or that it is a [[File:Anmark2.png]] [[Left-Wing Market Anarchism|Left Market Anarchist]] ideology and that it is not related to right-wing market anarchism in any way, this, although true in part because of Konkin referring to Agorism as so, it's false due to he not using the term with the standard definition referring to [[File:Libsoc.png]] [[Libertarian Socialism]], he used it as defined by Roderick T. Long as a reintegration of libertarianism with concerns that are traditionally thought of as being concerns of the left. That includes concerns for worker empowerment, worry about plutocracy, concerns about feminism and various kinds of social equality<ref>Long, Roderick. T. (4 January 2008).

Furthermore on the topic of property it is also worth checking Konkin's opinion on intellectual property.

Konkin abruptly opposed intellectual property rights and wrote an essay called "Copywrongs" about it<ref>Konkin III, Samuel Edward. [http://users.aol.com/vlntryst/wn20.html "Copywrongs"]]. Archived 13 August 2006 at the [[w:Wayback_Machine|Wayback Machine]].</ref> and regarded them as creators of monopolies and market distortion.

Some agorists distinguish pink markets. Pink markets (legal and immoral from libertarian's perspective) are synthesis of red (illegal and not ethical) and white (legal and ethical). Into red markets belongs taxes, conscription and so on.
