Italian Tax Evaders 2008, Romano Prodi & Silvio Berlusconi 0
The question of the breadth and power of the Italian counter-economy requires no scrutiny or test, it is well known that tax evaders, illegal immigrants, smugglers, and black market entrepreneurs alike call “the boot” a kind of safe haven where the cops are either too drunk to chase or too corrupt to care. Whether the Anarcho-Individualistic flare of the Italian people, the entrepreneurial history of the Italian peninsula, or just a general intellectual superiority that undermines the boorish slave mentality of other Europeans under the beast of leviathan, Italians do not like, consent to, or even pay their taxes! Indeed, if we Agorists are looking for a ripe country to inhabit, a model to forge a movement after, or a people to take a lesson from, we would do well to pay attention to the Italians.
In recent events, however, it seems that the Italian government has decided to cross a line – to change the rules. Posting a list of tax evaders on a website, with personal information available for exploitation in a modern age of identity theft, the
Republican guard has all but declared war on the people they claim to “represent”! What an outrage!
Che cazzo!
Still, however, instead of complaining about the injustices of the government playing dirty when Italians begin to stand up for themselves against their extortionists when they demand their money, what seems to be a viable solution? As an Agorist, it seems obvious develop the counter-economy past its very rudimentary stage in Italia. Absolutely, Italia’s counter-economy does not grow for the same reason that
Samuel Edward Konkin III showed that the Russian counter-economy, under Communist Stalin, did not fulfill the Agorist steps to revolution – they either did not have the full revolutionary or entrepreneurial spirits about them, or they simply lived outside of the regular economy when at all expedient, returning, in mind and body, to the statist affairs as soon as their “plunder” was made. Yes, let this be a lesson to all Agorists and proto-Agorists, for in Italia, though the entrepreneurial spirit is ripe and the capacity in capital there, the pure philosophy of Agorism has not yet sunk its teeth into the Tuscan hills or the Sicilian Mountains. Yes, if only Agorism as an ideology were to spread throughout the countryside of the Italian peninsula, the opportunity for a counter-economic safe haven seems unparalleled – if any country was ready for an Agorist revolution, it would be the Southern Mediterranean nation of Italia.
