The purpose of Democratic Agorism is to make available the best opportunities for citizens qua electors with differing preferences to choose, support and benefit from representation and programmes which most nearly fulfil their requirements and wishes.
Democratic Agorism owes much of its inspiration to the late Agorist theoretician Robert LeFevre and to the late Karl Popper.
It should be noted that Democratic Agorism can be built up gradually (or even covertly, or clandestinely) in non-democratic societies, so as to supplant and replace undemocratic systems by more representative - hence more legitimate - fully democratic ones.

At this point in time we have to deal withmasses of information about Agorism and our mind is just not ready yet to assimilate and store all of it.

I’m still learning all about the particular flavors of anarchism (mutualism and agorism) with which I’ve been flirting lately.
It cites at length some things that are common among left libertarians *generally* and may or may not be notions any particular agorist subscribes to.
Strictly speaking, agorism is simply the completion of straight-up hard core Rothbardian “anarcho-capitalism”; with a revolutionary strategy (counter-economics) that is methodologically consistent with the goal (market anarchy).
The Chauntecleer Award acknowledges "meritorious service in the Cause of Freedom and advancement of Agorism." The Chauntecleer (another name for rooster) is a fitting symbol to honor those whose work wakes up a sleeping populace and introduces them to a new day full of the promise of Freedom and prosperity through agorism.
Conger's indefatigable efforts over many years to advance agorism include his highly regarded newsletter Out of Step and related website and blog.
Conger resides on California's central coast and was not able on short notice to attend the meeting to accept the award in person.
For fans of intellectual history, this interview with Samuel Edward Konkin III will satisfy your deepest curiosities about the nature of the freedom movement in the 1960's.
Konkin, who authored the New Libertarian Manifesto and put "agorism" in a few obscure web dictionaries, helped craft the distinction between anarcho-capitalism and market anarchism.
Agorism explicitly opposes intellectual property, voting and parliamentary strategies, while siding with individualistanarchists in favor of an economy where workers are also owners.
The term was coined or popularized by Samuel Edward Konkin III and comes from the Greek word "agora" meaning "open marketplace." Ideologically, it is a term representing a type of free marketanarchist.

It was reading J. Neil Schulman's Alongside Night that introduced me to Agorism, and through Agorism to gold and monetary economics, and eventually to Rothbard.
Unlike Robert Heinlein's The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress or Ken MacLeod's Stone Canal, J. Neil Schulman's Alongside Night shows how a free society might happen here and now (assuming that the Revolutionary Agorist Cadre has been spending the past few decades preparing for it).
I discovered Agorism and Alongside Night within the same week.
This was quite possibly the late Samuel Edward Konkin III’s crowning achievement — an academic journal dedicated to Agorism and Counter-Economics.
These original issues are from a very small number that escaped The Great Storage Locker Default, in which dozens of cases of New Libertarian magazines, constituting over 50% of extant copies, were either auctioned off or dumped by a storage locker facility, losing them to posterity.
The Last Whole Introduction to Agorism, by Samuel Edward Konkin III.
This is a paragraph of text that could go in the sidebar.
A while back, I linked to the first three installments of Wally Conger's Agorism Contra Marxism series, consisting of excerpts from Sam Konkin's work (of the same name) comparing Agorist to Marxist class analysis.
