 ## The Core Concept
 At its heart, agorism recognizes a simple truth: the state is not a building in Washington or a group of politicians but a relationship of systematic theft and coercion. Every tax collected, every regulation enforced, and every license required represents a violent intervention in voluntary exchange. Konkin's insight was that we don't need to storm the castle when we can stop feeding the beast.

 Think of agorism as economic secession in place. While political activists exhaust themselves trying to change a system designed to resist change, agorists have already opted out. They're building alternative institutions, trading through parallel markets, and creating the infrastructure of a free society right under the state's nose. Every untaxed transaction, every peer-to-peer exchange, and every regulatory bypass represents a small act of revolution that requires no violence, no voting, and no permission.

 The genius of Konkin's approach lies in its alignment with human nature. People naturally seek to improve their lives through voluntary exchange. The state constantly interferes with this process, creating friction, extracting wealth, and prohibiting peaceful activities. Agorism encourages what people want to do anyway: trade freely, keep what they earn, and associate voluntarily. The revolution doesn't require converting anyone to a new ideology; it just helps them realize they're already practicing counter-economics.

 Every cryptocurrency transaction that bypasses traditional banking represents a practical form of agorism. When Iranian programmers sell software for Bitcoin because sanctions block bank transfers, when Venezuelans preserve wealth in cryptocurrency while their government destroys the bolivar through hyperinflation, and when dark market vendors create more reliable reputation systems than eBay, they prove that monetary systems don't require states.

 DeFi protocols now handle billions of dollars in value without the need for banks, regulators, or state oversight. Uniswap processes more daily volume than many national stock exchanges without a single regulatory license. Compound allows lending and borrowing without credit checks or financial surveillance. Smart contracts execute complex financial operations that would require armies of lawyers in the traditional system. Still, they do so with mathematical certainty and without any possibility of corruption. These systems don't compete with banks on the banks' terms; they make traditional financial intermediaries conceptually obsolete.

 ## The Gig Economy's Shadow Side
 Officially, Uber drivers and DoorDash deliverers are tracked and taxed through elaborate digital systems designed to ensure compliance. The platforms automatically report earnings to tax authorities and issue Form 1099 for any amount exceeding $600. But beneath this veneer of compliance lies a thriving counter-economy that the platforms pretend not to see.

 Cash tips disappear into pockets without a trace. Regular customers develop personal relationships with drivers, arranging rides outside the app for cash payment. The Uber driver who gives you his card for "airport runs" has just recruited you into the counter-economy. Pizza delivery drivers build networks of regular customers who pay cash directly, bypassing both the platform and the taxman. Every transaction that moves from the platform to personal arrangement represents a small victory for economic freedom.
 
 DoorDash drivers share techniques for maximizing cash orders in online forums. They know which restaurants still accept cash, which neighborhoods tip in cash, and how to structure their acceptance patterns to avoid algorithmic detection while maximizing unreported income. The platforms are aware of this happening, but they can't stop it without destroying their business model. They need drivers more than drivers need them, creating space for counter-economic activity within supposedly controlled systems.
