Red, White, Black markets

I think the DNM community would greatly benefit from a market with strategic libertarian principles.

Here's how Samuel Konkin, the philosopher who coined the term "agorism" described it:

"...marketplace as near to untainted by theft, assault, and fraud as can be humanly attained is as close to a free society as can be achieved"

The Agora DNM, as good as it was, was hardly Agoric, it was full of carders and fraudsters.

Counter-Economics describes violence and theft, unapproved by the state, as a "Red Market", all state approved actions as the "White Market", and all other free trade that the state chooses to prohibit, control, regulate, tax, or tariff as a Black underground economy.

People who choose to stray from their moral compass will have their own Red Market, but it doesn't mean that carding should be taint a Black Market for smuggling electronics to bypass insane tariffs, obtaining medical pharmaceuticals for those without insurance, or buying weed from the Netherlands. We are at the nascence of crypto markets, and I think if we take an ideological stance against oppression of free trade by the world governments, it would empower everyone except the bureaucrats and rogue agencies.

The easiest way to do this, is to make all drugs legal. That will never happen, as the CIA needs a way to fund their secret wars :-)

Agora was much more "agoric" than all the shitty markets before it, even if they offered carding/fraud products.

The markets enable fraud and violence by offering those items. FE enables scamming. Escrow enables the markets to scam. No market is perfect.

Name a time when a political ideological system was perfectly replicated in real life. That's like asking for quantitative yields for LSD synthesis.

The markets will never be perfect, but this is what will make them perfect:

I have Agora phobia..I'm scared that there will never be another market as good as Agora was. + I don't like to be out in the open when I'm on speed.
