Agorists Should Abandon the Term “Revolution” and Marxist Lexicon (Or the Case for Neo-Agorism)

Agorists should stop using the word “revolution.” It’s a Marxist term rooted in violence and centralized change. But agorism isn’t Marxism—we reject collectivism and political seizure of power.

We believe in evolution, not revolution, like a species evolving over time. Humans didn’t revolt against monkeys to emerge, free societies won’t emerge by violently overthrowing the state, but by outgrowing it.

Marxists divide people into classes. We see 8 billion individuals—each different, unequal, and unique. There is no “proletariat,” only persons acting in their own interest through voluntary exchange.

Agorism is not a class war—it’s an evolutionary path to liberty. Let’s speak the language of builders, not destroyers.
