RE: Anarcho-Capitalism, Voluntarism & Alternatives - My Response to @kafkanarchy84; RE: @dannyshine

in #freedom7 years ago

I do understand that, when I said 'volunteering', that is what I meant. Interactions between people being voluntary IS volunteering, to me - this is a somewhat rare case of differences just being semantic to me.

Sort:  

I've seen a lot of people on here using the term voluntarist or voluntaryist to mean volunteering to do community work as in feeding the homeless. If you ask them about why they are using that term, they will feign ignorance too. I have never heard of that type of volunteer work being called voluntarism before either.

Oh, I see, ok - we have inherited a mental boundary around what volunteering is that is quite limited and I can understand why using the word voluntarism to describe such a limited concept of voluntary action would be a trigger.
