kapillaarist

A kapillaarist is a follower of Kapillarism, a socio-political philosophy that emphasizes the importance of individual autonomy and the free exchange of goods and services within a society. Central to Kapillarist thought is the concept of "kapilla," which represents the ideal flow of resources and opportunities, unobstructed by excessive regulation or centralized control. Kapillarists believe that when individuals are free to pursue their own interests and engage in voluntary transactions, society as a whole benefits from innovation, efficiency, and prosperity.

The philosophy advocates for a minimal state intervention, primarily limited to the enforcement of property rights and the protection of individuals from coercion. Kapillarists generally support free markets, deregulation, and free trade. They often view government bureaucracy and intervention as hindrances to natural economic and social progress, leading to inefficiencies and limiting individual potential. While not necessarily advocating for anarchy, they lean towards a system where private initiative and voluntary association are the primary drivers of social organization.

Key tenets of Kapillarism include the belief in natural rights, the sanctity of contracts, and the moral justification of private property. The term "kapillaarist" itself suggests a focus on the fine, intricate connections and flows within a society, much like the capillary action in physics, where substances move freely and naturally through small channels. Disagreements within Kapillarist circles can arise concerning the precise scope of state functions and the best methods for achieving and maintaining a truly free society.
