voluntaryist
Anti-coercion political believer
A voluntaryist advocates for a society based entirely on voluntary association, rejecting the legitimacy of the state and its coercive power.
Unlike some anarchists, voluntaryists typically emphasize nonviolent resistance and market-based solutions rather than revolution.
The philosophy holds that all human interaction should be consensual: As a voluntaryist, she refused to vote, viewing elections as legitimizing state coercion.
