Arvolibertarians

Arvolibertarians are a small, relatively new political philosophy that seeks to combine elements of anarchism, specifically anarcho-capitalism, with a focus on individual autonomy and freedom in all aspects of life. The term itself is a portmanteau of "arvo," derived from the Latin word "arvum" meaning "field" or "land," and "libertarianism." This etymology suggests a foundational belief in the right of individuals to freely use and control land and resources, a core tenet that distinguishes them from some other libertarian strains.

At the heart of arvolibertarianism is the belief in the absolute sovereignty of the individual. This translates to a rejection of all forms of involuntary coercion, including the state, taxation, and most forms of regulation. They advocate for a society organized through voluntary contracts and private property rights. Unlike some anarcho-capitalists, arvolibertarians may place a stronger emphasis on the natural rights associated with land ownership and use, viewing it as a fundamental aspect of individual liberty.

The practical implementation of arvolibertarian principles often involves advocating for decentralized communities, free markets in all goods and services, and the provision of security and dispute resolution through private agencies rather than a state monopoly. They believe that through free association and the unfettered pursuit of individual interests, society can achieve a state of order and prosperity without the need for coercive government structures. While not widely organized, arvolibertarian ideas circulate in various online communities and philosophical discussions focused on radical individual liberty.
