What is Geoist Anarchy?

Short answer

GeoAnarchism (also "Geo-Anarchism", "georgist anarchism", "anarcho georgism" or any other sensible variation) is an ethical school of thought that concerns human rights. Like any anarchist school of thought it stipulates that the doctrine of statism is unjust. What makes GeoAnarchism a unique geoist variant of anarchism is how it finds the doctrine of statism synonymous with the act of collecting economic rent. GeoAnarchism can be classified as an example of "pro-proviso" Lockean property rights, individualist anarchism, market anarchism, and counter-economics.

Longer answer

GeoAnarchism is an ethical school of thought that stipulates all individuals have an equal right to natural resources and raw materials. Natural resources and raw materials are also known as "economic land". This is in contrast with the notion that natural resources or raw materials are 'common' or 'collective' rights which may be stipulated by other schools of thought. As a consequence, individual freedom implies security in the unadulterated capacity of the individual to use nature and make property.

The exercise of the faculties of one individual to create property denies a similar ability to other individuals to create property. Therefore property owners are obliged to make amends with one another. This is to make up for how they each interfere with, and hence violate the rights of, the capacity of the other individual to make property out of nature.

Those that act under the doctrine of statism (referred to as "statists") interfere with this relationship between man and nature more than anyone acting under any other doctrine because statists claim sovereign control over vastly more land. Because of this statists and the institution they claim to represent, 'the state', are the biggest landlords.
