Autarchy: Difference between revisions

The first self-proclaimed autarchist was Robert LeFevre recognized as such by Murray Rothbard. LeFevre, during a talk with his professor, was told that he may be an anarchist, who he (and most people) associate not with voluntary association but rather with wicked man with bombs. After reading further on the definition of anarchism, and realizing its traditionally economically left-wing leaning, he founded autarchism within the stoicism of philosophers such as Zeno, Epicurus and Marcus Aurelius, which he summarized in the "Control Yourself" creed. LeFevre thought that anarchy is self-contradictory to defending "sparkling and resplendent individualism" while "advocating some sort of procedure to interfere in the processes of a free market".
