Independent Individualist
Source: Reginald Firehammer
Country: United States
E-mail: regi@usabig.com

The Independent Individualist is a continuation and expansion of The Autonomist. "In all the world, every minority is recognized by a host of agencies, organizations, and institutions defending their 'rights,' attending to their particular needs, and addressing their interests—every minority, that is, except one, the smallest minority in the world—the independent individual. It is that minority the Independent Individualist recognizes and is dedicated to." "There is an irony in this, however. The hallmark of the independent individualists is self-sufficiency and self-assurance—the certainty they are competent to live happily and successfully without anyone's guidance, advice, help, or approval." "There is a revolution happening. It is not a revolution in the usual sense, it is not political or social. It is a revolution of ideas, brought about by individuals who have discovered no government, no movement, no organization, and no other individual can make them free; and they are not willing to live under any level of oppression or slavery. These individuals are bringing about a revolution by setting themselves free, and are building a society, not by design or social engineering, but by the inevitable nature of those who discover each other and their shared values and purpose and value to each other—a society of free individuals interacting with each other by their free choice to their mutual benefit." Promotional offer. Update.
