Timeline

1947

Samuel Edward Konkin III (8 July 1947 – 23 February 2004), also known as SEK3, was a Canadian-American left-libertarian philosopher and Austrian school economist.

As the author of the publication New Libertarian Manifesto, he was a proponent of a political philosophy he named agorism.

Konkin was born in Edmonton, Alberta, to Samuel Edward Konkin II and Helen Konkin.

He had one brother named Alan.

1971

Konkin was editor and publisher of the irregularly-produced New Libertarian Notes (1971–1975), the New Libertarian Weekly (1975–1978), and finally New Libertarian magazine (1978–1990), the last issue of which was a special science fiction tribute featuring a Robert A. Heinlein cover (issue 187, 1990).

Konkin was an opponent of imperialism and interventionism.

Konkin proposed a social political philosophy known as Agorism, which advocates for a society in which all relations between people are voluntary exchanges by means of counter-economics, engaging with aspects of nonviolent revolution.

Agorism has similar elements to anarcho-capitalism, but unlike some anarcho-capitalists, most agorists are strictly opposed to voting as a strategy for achieving their desired outcomes.

"The goal of agorism is the agora. The society of the open marketplace as near to untainted by theft, assault, and fraud as can be humanly attained is as close to a free society as can be achieved. And a free society is the only one in which each and every one of us can satisfy his or her subjective values without crushing others' values by violence and coercion."

In her book Anarchism: Left, Right, and Green, political theorist and anarcho-syndicalist, Ulrike Heider accused Konkin of endorsing historical negationism in his dealing with the Institute for Historical Review (IHR), where he served on the Board of Directors, which included allotting advertisement space to the IHR in New Libertarian, and writing a positive review of James J. Martin's book on Raphael Lemkin, which was published by the IHR.

Konkin personally rejected Holocaust denial, but defended the IHR because he believed its freedom of speech was being suppressed.

1990

He married Sheila Wymer in 1990 and had one son named Samuel Evans-Konkin.

The marriage ended soon afterward.

Although he was an atheist, Konkin was a lifelong fan of C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien and an avid fanzine contributor.

He was a known figure among science fiction/fantasy fans for his writing on Alarums and Excursions and the like.

Konkin was also notable for his style of dress: "To show his anarchist beliefs, he dressed completely in black, a color associated with that movement since the late nineteenth century".

2004

On 23 February 2004, Konkin died of natural causes in his apartment in West Los Angeles, California.

He was buried alongside his father in Edmonton, Alberta.

Konkin considered libertarianism radical.

He was an initiator of the Agorist Institute.

Konkin rejected voting, believing it to be inconsistent with libertarian ethics.

He likewise opposed involvement with the Libertarian Party, which he regarded as a statist co-option of libertarianism.

He was an opponent of influential minarchist philosopher Robert Nozick, and referred to Nozick's devotees as "Nozis".

Konkin presents his strategy for achieving a libertarian society in his manifesto, New Libertarian Manifesto.

Since he rejected voting and other means by which people typically attempt social change, he encouraged people to withdraw their consent from the state by devoting their economic activities to black market and grey market sources, which would not be taxed or regulated.

Konkin called "transactions on these markets, as well as other activities that bypassed the State, 'counter-economics.' Peaceful transactions take place in a free market, or agora: hence his term 'agorism' for the society he sought to achieve."

He also strongly opposed the idea of intellectual property.
