I am declaring March 6th as my Anarchiversary.

"What's an Anarchiversary?" you ask. It is the date you became an actual decent human being and realized all human interaction should be voluntary and begin the principled practice of living that (Voluntaryism) in your day-to-day interactions with other peaceful people. Meaning you would never threaten any initiation of force, let alone actually defraud, steal, rape, kidnap, assault, or murder (murder does not include killing in self defense). It also means you cannot advocate or participate in government in anyway shape of form because government is predicated on taxation. And taxation is theft because one cannot opt out of it.

But don't feel bad if you have never heard of an Anarchiversary (or Voluntaryism for that matter) before, I completely made Anarchiversary up; as I often do (that's what language is: an assortment of random sounds assigned a specific, agreed upon meaning).

I chose today as my Anarchiversary because Facebook reminded me that on this day, 7 years ago, I became friends with Janaia Donaldson, producer and host with her partner Robin Mallgren (videographer and editor) of Peak Moment TV whose videos played a seminal role in me becoming a Voluntaryist; albeit I doubt she would at the point consider herself a Voluntaryist; if ever.

Janaia Donaldson

I actually watched these 2 Peak Moment videos last night to find relative content from that era. The first one hit me right in the feelz!!!

Considering our Facebook friendship happened in early March 2011, after I finished Oaksterdam University, this very well may have been the actually day I realized that the only way to be a moral person was to be an Anarchist and declared myself so. (albeit the title of Voluntaryist wouldn't come til a little later, when I really understood Anarchism). The Facebook reminder took me back to they time in my life. And reminded of the very poignant question @jeffberwick asks of his Anarchast guests: "How did you become an Anarchist?"

Do you know know your Anarchiversary?
