Democracia, o Deus que falhou vs. New Libertarian Manifesto

A Bridge of Ideas

Your 5-star ratings for both the 'New Libertarian Manifesto' and 'Democracia, o Deus que falhou' reveal a profound, unexpected bridge in your thinking: you're connecting the strategic, almost covert, operationalism of agorism with the deep, systemic critique of democracy. You meticulously noted Konkin's 'agorista strategist' who 'ignores the polls' and Hoppe's argument that democracy is a 'consumption of capital' encouraging 'short-termism,' and these insights powerfully converge. You're not just reading critiques of the state and democracy; you're seeing them as interconnected systems whose very legitimacy and function can be undermined by distinct, yet complementary, modes of action and understanding. Konkin's contra-economy offers the 'how' to Hoppe's 'why' we should disengage, creating a surprisingly cohesive framework for radical socio-economic philosophy that transcends traditional political engagement your mind is building.
