MODERN LIBERTARIAN MANIFESTO

[mlmfoundation]

Hello everyone,  

I would like to request permission to publish and maintain our appeal in this forum.  

We are from the M-L-M Foundation, and we support the Modern Libertarian Movement created by Benk through his MANIFESTO.  

This matter is extremely serious for us and aims to define the future of our freedom over the next fifty years. Before commenting, supporting, or criticizing, please take the time to read the entire text — everything will make sense, especially for those of us who are devoted to Blockchain technology. It spans more than 200 pages; it may be tiring, but it will be worth it.  

The MODERN LIBERTARIAN MANIFESTO is available in English, Portuguese, German, French, Spanish, and Russian. We kindly request the moderators’ permission to publish the same post in each language-specific forum and, if possible, to move this topic to the “Serious discussion” forum (as we do not yet have user merit).  

Let us work together to build a better world — this is not utopia; it is possible, but only if we do it together.  

The MODERN LIBERTARIAN MANIFESTO, written by Benk, can be accessed at: https://m-l-m.site/ or http://mlmw72e5mx3pxlry7thxd7oh7i2nvyoxid7oxsbv65vo2raalskcqiyd.onion

You can also learn more about our foundation and how we can support your projects at: https://m-l-m.foundation/  

Thank you all in advance for your attention. I extend this invitation, which is detailed in Benk’s MANIFESTO:

THE CALL

For centuries, a shadow has rested upon the shoulders of men. Many mistake it for shelter. Others have forgotten the sun ever existed. If you're reading this, you still feel its weight. The first step isn't to fight—it's to see.

They told you that you need stamps to live. Signatures to breathe. Forms to dream. The perfect prison is one where the prisoner asks the jailer for the key.

They say the law is justice. But what is law when it absolves aggression and condemns self-defense? A uniform, a seal, a stamp, and violence takes on the fragrance of virtue.

They call it democracy when the majority's shout drowns out the individual's silence. Two wolves and a sheep deciding on dinner. Freedom isn't a ballot — it's a right that predates voting.

Currencies that wither without wind. Values that evaporate without flame. They created wealth from nothing and charged for it in everything. Freedom begins when money ceases to be decree.

They call it a duty. Then they call it a contribution. In the end, the threat remains. Taxes are the ransom ticket charged by the same hand that kidnaps your time.

The classroom can be a temple of thought or a factory of conformity. Twelve years teaching how to answer. A few minutes teaching how to ask. Question: who benefits from your ignorance?

They burned books. Then they banned plants. They manufacture crime where there is no victim. Meanwhile, the licensed sell poisons in shiny packaging. This isn’t care—it’s control.

When prison becomes a business, misery turns into cash flow. Victimless crimes overcrowd cells. And soulless justice outsources compassion. Freedom begins when the system stops profiting from your mistakes.

Patented treatments, nature in chains. Lab-coated prophets dictate what you may ingest. Health has ceased to be science and become monopoly. Did you forget your body is yours?

"Relinquish who you are and we’ll give you protection." But who guards the guardian? Order without freedom is porcelain display: shiny outside, shattered within.

The force that terrifies isn’t the clenched fist. It’s the ‘no’ spoken with serenity. Civil disobedience doesn’t break locks—it merely reveals they were drawn in chalk.

They call clandestine what is merely voluntary. It happens on sidewalks, in backyards, in glances. Agorism doesn't ask for permission: it harvests consent.

Code that won't kneel. Networks without a center. Money without an arbiter. The cipher is a prayer the censor cannot recite. When the algorithm is honest, politics loses its job.

Not every city is born from decree. Purpose-built towns, floating homes, self-governed neighborhoods. You don’t reform a labyrinth—you plant an open field.

Do not aggress. Do not steal. Keep your word. Morality is simple when it doesn’t require a thousand pages of exceptions. What is right doesn’t need votes.

Education is about lighting fires, not lining up candles. Free schools, living learning, curiosity as curriculum. Heirs to mentors, not consensus builders.

Value comes from work, not from stamps. Licenses protect those who've already arrived. Endless rules create eternal queues. Open roads free the creativity of those still on their way.

If union is love, why is undoing it forbidden? Self-determination is the final vote. A neighborhood, a city, a person. Those who fear goodbyes have never known consent.

Spooner muttered against the idol of law. Rothbard mapped the ethics of liberty. Rand honed the courage of the individual. Hoppe dissected the castle of power. The library that liberates fits in your hands.

Crooked laws don't straighten righteous acts. Juries can acquit conscience. Communities can say 'no.' Legitimacy doesn't come from the uniform—it comes from consent.

Imagine paths born of necessity, schools chosen out of love, justice guided by reparation rather than spectacle. The post-State world isn’t chaos—it’s responsibility.

Bureaucracies don't love. People do. Mutual aid is the tribute the heart pays willingly. Networks of care thrive where forms give up.

From Swiss hills to Brazilian alleys, from Pacific islands to Texan streets, the idea spreads like cold fire: don’t command, agree. Don’t demand, exchange. Don’t order, invite.

Passphrase: create. Agorism in daily life, crypto in every pocket, startup cities, intentional communities, trust-based trade. A thousand paths, one destination: autonomy.

Do not legitimize what harms you. Do not fund what enslaves you. Do not applaud what dehumanizes you. A principled 'no' builds more than a thousand empty promises.

Hold fast to what is solid; learn what is useful; unite with what is trustworthy. Knowledge, skills, networks. In the storm, those who share shelter become beacons.

When fear recedes, art breathes. When control loosens, science flourishes. Free ideas build invisible cathedrals. The next dome rises in your mind.

The pieces are set, the maps drawn, the keys forged. Nothing will be missing—except your decision. Freedom does not arrive: it is summoned. Hear it.

A world of voluntary agreements, true wealth, community protection, and individual dignity. It’s not utopia—it’s direction. When each person is sovereign over themselves, humanity will finally have a home.

I was disappointed to go to your website and the PDF did not download. I have published what I would call a how the world is going to be in the future document, but could be called a libertarian manifesto, at the link in my signature which is also a PDF.

Rather than a minority electing a majority leader who oppresses minorities who are entirely unrepresented by law, I advocate for a Cooperative Republic by which everyone is guaranteed to be truly and genuinely represented with a real life social contract that isn't contrived and forced on others.

We are told that we live in a government of We the People, but given a government by They the ruling class elites. The ruling class elites is alleged to be controlled by the hive mind through voting, but even if true humans have an evil nature that musts be overcome by civility.

When I think of libertarians I think of a herd of cats. Lets not be that way. Lets look through each others publications and see how we might work together, but right now your download link is broken.

Hello, we are very sorry that you were unable to download it. Please try again, as all links are operating normally. Note that there are two download buttons per language: one from IPFS, which is registered on the Blockchain and is immutable and uncensorable, and the same PDF hosted on PDFHost for greater scalability. The IPFS version, being a decentralized protocol, may sometimes fail to load; in that case, just click Retry. Try again — the content of the manifesto, even though it has more than 200 pages, is very complete and rich in detail. It is more than a manifesto; it is a manual.

We have the website and the PDF available on our .onion (Tor) site, which is also working and has many layers of security, mainly because the content, being truthful and eye-opening, is at risk of censorship attempts.

Greetings.

There is no such thing as a random glitch in that matrix you have there with the download issue. I don't know if that is a tech issue or an unwanted tech developer issue who doesn't want your work getting attention (at either the shallow layers or the deeper ones), but there is an issue there.

My first thoughts on your work are that you start off taking to libertarians, but then spend the entire work up to about page 65 explaining the basics of libertarianism. You have a correctly moral position based approach, which is what most people are swayed by. But, there is no data at all there for the people who need that. What are the actual real-world results in measurable ways for a libertarian approach to other approaches on metrics of human success? You have all the theories well sealed, but then the proof as evidence in study isn't there in the publication. There is also in addition to the data proving the points anecdotal stories that can demonstrate each data set, which of course could be referenced in other publications in a more complete form rather than short stories. So, I'd recommend a structural change to have the manifesto just be there moral argumentation and tear off everything past about page 65 and make that another publication entirely. People think of a manifesto as moral argumentation, not the specific calls to action you have later. It is excellent material but can be a separate publication. The moral argumentation could be supplemented with metric data studies and personal anecdotes of people successfully being left alone and things going well for that reason.

I'm very much interested and working on peer-to-peer commerce and an associated tech platform. I'm disappointed you had nothing to say about working with other people after I just explained how failing to work together is why libertarianism is currently in last place in this world. However, I will once again ask, what do you think of the PDF I have provided by the reference in my signature? Do you want to work with me on a peer-to-peer commercial platform or any other effort?

I'm much less impressed by one libertarian recruiting a new one into the fold as I am with two libertarians coming together to work for a common cause of civics and civility. They (we) seem to want so much independence as to insist everything must be done alone, a rather serious inefficiency.

Hello, once again we are grateful for you sharing your opinion. The manifesto written by Benk is immutable; it was intentionally conceived in this format of 3 Acts (Act I – The Awakening, Act II – The Alternatives, Act III – Action and Transformation). It is more than a manifesto — it is also a practical manual that uses real examples, especially through blockchain technology, to show that everything is possible today and that this is not a utopia. Keep reading and you will understand his brilliance and why this movement is completely different from all others. That is why we decided to support it and create this foundation, which is formed by volunteers, and new members like you are always welcome. As stated in the manifesto, anyone can create their own variation of it by making reference, you are free to do so and we encourage it.

Regarding your work, it is praiseworthy — keep writing. We have not had the opportunity to open it; libertarians appreciate privacy. We have a few suggestions: 
- Host it on platforms/servers compatible with TOR. 
- Never use redirect links for downloads.

Best regards

Guys, the manifesto is well structured, logically coherent, it’s not utopian. I recognize that.

But I need to be honest about what’s bothering me deeply, because if we’re going to build something real, we have to be brutally honest about the obstacles.

First thing: I look at the Bitcoin community today and I see billionaires who could LITERALLY fund decentralized education in slums all over the world, build private cities in 10 countries at the same time, revolutionize decentralized arbitration on a global scale. But instead? They’re buying Doge meme coins, paying millions for digital dog NFTs, and investing in electric cars that end up producing more CO2 than they should. It’s like having godlike power and using it to buy toys. This tells me something important: most of the people who understand the technology do not understand revolution. And most of the people who talk about revolution never had real power to do anything.

The second concern is darker. I’ve studied this: most of the “mainstream” libertarian manifestos I see circulating seem deliberately planted by… well, someone who doesn’t want real libertarianism. Because they are so utopian, so impractical, that they work perfectly as a tool for discrediting the whole thing. Like a government or state-backed think tank spending millions to fund a “libertarian movement” that is so over the top that when a normal person reads it, they discard everything as insanity. It’s a classic sabotage-from-within tactic. And there’s more: people who pretend to be defenders of Bitcoin and decentralization but actually work FOR the State, infiltrating communities, sowing division, making it look like libertarianism is for scammers who just want to dodge taxes (which is partly true), not for those who truly want to build freedom. Do you know this? Intelligence infiltration in movements? That’s what is happening.

The third point hits even deeper. Ordinary people don’t think. They really don’t. The average person wakes up, turns on the TV, repeats what the news anchor said, follows influencers just because they’re famous (not on merit, but because some guy bought bitcoin in 2010 and now they’re a “specialist”), and then goes to sleep. This is mental machinery. And the government knows this. It has infinite funding to put professional mercenaries in every libertarian group that starts to grow, to stir things up, derail conversations, and discourage people when they’re just starting to believe change is possible. The State already does this with everything: unions, social movements, NGOs. Why would libertarians be spared? They’re not. So when you recruit someone, there’s a 50% chance the person is either a spy or so tightly plugged into the system that they’ll never really act.

But here’s the point that keeps me sitting here reading this: most of the people who claim to be “cyberpunk revolutionaries” are hiding behind a screen, typing manifestos for another nerd behind a screen. Meanwhile, the real world keeps getting worse. People remain in poverty. Children keep being indoctrinated. And the good people who could change everything? They’re cowardly, too busy, so stuck in inertia that they just accept the circus. The result: bad people rule. Because the absence of action by the good IS the action of the bad. So yes, I believe in the logic of the manifesto. But I deeply distrust the ability of 3.5% of humans to actually act consistently against a trillion‑dollar machine that never sleeps and infiltrates every movement that threatens it. And this is what I’m going to question: how do you solve the problem of humans being weak, corruptible, easily influenced, when that is part of human nature itself?

[carinaabaghata]

That’s just awesome!

Seriously, I read Act I and it felt like when you’ve seen a puzzle completed your whole life and then someone suddenly flips a piece and it fits perfectly. That was exactly it.  

Like, I’ve always felt deep down that something was off you know when you can tell the game is rigged but can’t quite point out where? Yeah. But the coolest part isn’t that it brings criticism it brings practical solutions. Blockchain, DAOs, decentralized education, restorative justice… it’s not fiction. It’s real. It’s already happening.  

What really blew my mind was this: the manifesto doesn’t say “everything’s impossible, the State is unbeatable, give up.” It says, “you’re powerless only if you agree to be.” And that’s revolutionary because it’s true.

Guys, the manifesto is well structured, logically coherent, it’s not utopian. I recognize that.

But I need to be honest about what’s bothering me deeply, because if we’re going to build something real, we have to be brutally honest about the obstacles.
-snip-

I loved the point  . I’ll be honest: you’re right to be skeptical about the growth of movements. History proves it.
But here’s the genius in what Benk wrote: this movement doesn’t depend on leaders who can be co-opted. Like, the French Revolution had leaders. They were killed, exiled, or corrupted. It died. Bitcoin had Satoshi who disappeared. And it didn’t matter. It went on because the code runs by itself. Libertarian societies would be decentralized by design. No head to cut off.

And look at the point in the manifesto: it’s not about convincing 51% of the people. It’s 3.5%. Why? Because 3.5% truly committed to building concrete alternatives, parallel education, alternative justice systems, offline economies, become so attractive that others naturally migrate. Not by persuasion. By visible practical advantage.

It’s like this forum here. No one forces you to be here. You come because it’s better than the alternative. Can governments infiltrate? Sure. But in a DAO with full transparency, open code, it becomes obvious in days. Sabotage becomes visible when everything is public on the blockchain  .

[cleopatra_sipy]

You are debating theory, but reality is different. I’ve faced direct censorship for questioning the state narrative. I’ve been censored on forums. I’ve had to move house. I’ve lost income in a matter of days. But do you know what saved me and my projects? The local community supported me. My reputation. I wasn’t on any government programme. I didn’t receive a penny of state help. I received solidarity from people who saw value in what I was doing.
But here’s the thing: my projects thrived AFTER all that. Because when I moved to a decentralised platform, no one could block me. No central server means there’s nothing to take down. So repression WILL come that’s a certainty. But the decentralisation that Benk describes actually works. And spare me the talk that the state has to protect its citizens; that’s precisely how it creates rules to repress...

@bizzo ^^^
Most of such people that are seen as spies may not necessarily be "spies", or better yet, they are not intentional spies. They are most likely part of the negative system, the matrix, as long as they believe what it wants them to believe. The beliefs are information strings that connect them to the system, which they probably hope to escape from. The system doesn't need to send trained spies, it just uses the unintentional ones in libertarian world, or pick people who are programmed by what they are taught or movies they watch(which form their beliefs) that portray libertarism or things related to it in negative "light". So, an entity or its followers who rule over the system will simply use one or more anti-liberterian information to trigger the programmed ones, and they will become active and start working against libertarianism.

In regards to the last part of your post,  I believe the best way out is to deprogramme the programmed ones and prevent them from becoming reprogrammed by the system. You could call that isolation and be right... They will need to be seperated from the corrupted system, even from their relatives or loved ones who are part of the corruption and refuse to leave, and then be deprogrqmed with counter information. You need to understand that the only program that's really effective, or can prevent them from becoming vulnerable or exposed to the system's program again is Truth or Light. They need to be fed with Light and never go back to darkness otherwise they become unrecognizable. Satoshi for example would become unrecognizable and used as a "spy" against Bitcoin if he believes and consumes what the system feeds him.
So, the viable solution is to have people who consume the truths or the right information, and probably never let them consume or believe the negative system again.
We also have Bitcoin that has been hardcoded with truth, so that it becomes very difficult for the corrupted to change it to lies or to wrong codes.. This becomes a foundation that the members build stuff on,  Plus we have a Proof of Work consensus mechanism that allows members to verify any other thing people want to become part of the Bitcoin system, such as proposal, ideas, works, etc, to ensure nothing deviate from the truth or what is right.

I'm glad to see a manifesto like this after all the socialist rubbish that can be seen on the forum. The thing is, I've looked at your post history and I see that you've posted the same thing on various local boards. I very much doubt that you know so many languages at such a level that you could translate such a dense text, and even more so that you've commissioned a human translator to do the translations.

You might have broken rule 27, in case you didn't know it.

27. Using automated translation tools to post translated content in Local boards is not allowed.

I'm not going to report them; I'll leave that to the socialists and/or members of local forums. In any case, if they were deleted, I don't think it would have any consequences for your account. Only those on the local boards would be deleted, and this thread would remain.

I'm curious to know what theymos (the forum administrator) thinks about this case. He is a libertarian, so I don't know if he would consider this case to be more signal than noise, and therefore legitimate for local forums, but he could be accused of being biased in this regard.

[bizzo]

@cleopatra_sipy brings up the point I needed to hear. It’s not abstract theory. It’s real-life experience of censorship. That changes things. Are you saying that when there’s no vulnerable center, it really becomes hard to destroy? Because if that’s the case, @carinaabaghata might be right about starting small and scaling. But how do you convince millions of people to abandon the comfort of centralized systems if the government can crack down hard in the beginning?

@Ucy Your point is very interesting; it makes a lot of sense. I’m reflecting on this. Indeed, people go through years of programming.

We greatly respect your observation, but at no point was it our intention to violate the rules. Please, you and the Admins, note that our manifesto was launched simultaneously in 6 languages, as we described in the original post, and you can check it at https://m-l-m.site (we invite you to visit). For this reason, we opened discussions in the other forums in their respective languages—to give the greatest possible number of people the opportunity to access the manifesto regardless of the language they speak. We are also working on our foundation at https://m-l-m.foundation for more translations (we invite you to take a look).

Regarding reputation, this is one of the biggest issues Benk highlights in his manifesto, especially the difficulty faced by those who are just starting out.

I make an appeal to everyone who reads Benk's manifesto. It is a true wake-up call.

Best Regards

@Ucy Your point is very interesting; it makes a lot of sense. I’m reflecting on this. Indeed, people go through years of programming.

About your question. You don’t convince many people at first. You create AN EXAMPLE. A community that lives better. An education system that actually works. A fairer way of exchange. Then people come because they SEE results, not because they were persuaded by pretty arguments. 

Bitcoin is the best example. No one convinced the whole world to use Bitcoin with speeches. Bitcoin proved it works. Only then did people follow. We’re doing the same thing, but with EVERYTHING  education, economy, political freedom.

[cleopatra_sipy]

@carinaabaghata is right about the examples, but I need to add something: repression won’t wait for you to grow peacefully. The government will infiltrate, create fake communities to discredit you, and censor as soon as it realizes the scale of the thing. I’ve been through this. It’s not paranoia, it’s a historical pattern.
That’s exactly why it’s crucial to be decentralized FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. It’s not a luxury, it’s a survival necessity. If the structure is centralized, a single state action destroys everything. If there’s no center, they don’t know where to strike.

[bizzo]

Ok, valid point. Decentralization from the start reduces critical vulnerability.

But back to the question @carinaabaghata hasn't properly answered yet: how EXACTLY does it start   ? First libertarian city? First country? Or am I talking about a change so gradual that no one notices until it's complete?

Because in my systematic analysis, if it's too gradual, the State manages to co-opt and neutralize it. If it's too fast, it creates a violent reaction.

[carinaabaghata]

Honestly the answer is: both happen in parallel. You have micro-cooperatives starting today in Rio's favelas. You have libertarian education starting in families in São Paulo. You have local currency exchanges starting in rural communities. ALL together. It's not a centralized plan waiting for synchronization.

Each micro-guerrilla works independently. When one is attacked, others continue. When one grows, it inspires others. This is the 3.5% that Benk mentions. It's not an exact number, it's a decentralized SPIRIT.

And about State co-optation: they can only co-opt if there is a CENTER to corrupt. Without a center, what do they corrupt? One person changes their mind, there are a thousand others building the same thing in different places.

[cleopatra_sipy]

carinaabaghata touched on something important that I experienced. When my project was centralized on a platform, just blocking the platform was enough. When I distributed it over P2P networks, private Telegram, decentralized channels, they lost. Not because I am smarter than the government, but because there was NO PLACE to attack.

Sure, your fear about rapid coordination is legitimate.

But decentralized coordination is SLOW by nature  . And slowness is an advantage against repression. When the government perceives movement, it is already in 50 different places, making it very difficult to stop.

[bizzo]

That's clearer now. Decentralization isn't ideology, it's a survival tactic. That shifts my risk perspective.

But I have a different question now: quality. Without centralized coordination, how do you ensure that the micro-experiences are solidly following the manifesto? The risk here isn't repression. It's fragmentation and deviation. Some "interpretations" of the movement are starting to do things that aren't aligned.

[carinaabaghata]

Good question @bizzo. The manifesto is OPEN SOURCE. Anyone can validate it. You don't need centralized permission to run it. But you do need to understand PRINCIPLES to avoid deviation.

Principles are simple: maximum individual freedom, minimum coercion, voluntary exchanges, transparency. If a group is doing something against these principles, they're doing something else. No need for an internal police reporting it. The market of ideas itself exposes when something's wrong.

Bitcoin doesn't need a CEO checking if every miner is doing it right. The protocol validates or rejects. It's the same thing here.
