Geoanarchist
Geoanarchists believe land value belongs to the community but reject state taxation, favoring decentralized, voluntary methods for land rent collection. Figures like George A. Schilling explored these ideas within anarchist labor circles, proposing cooperative land use without formal government oversight. Their vision integrates free-market dynamics with collective land stewardship, emphasizing mutual agreements over coercion.
What it believes
Anarchism that read Henry George: no state — but land rent is still unearned, so communities collect it voluntarily through covenant and compact, funding common goods while everything built and earned stays untaxed and unruled.
The appeal
It patches anarcho-capitalism's oldest leak (who may claim the earth, and by what right?) without inviting the state back: the rent is owed to everyone, collected by agreement, spent by consent.
Where it breaks
Voluntary rent collection has a free-rider the size of a landmass: the covenant binds only signatories, and the first holdout with good acreage unravels the compact — a whiteboard cell even by this row's standards.
Among its neighbours
The Geo-Libertarian above keeps a minimal state to enforce the rent this cell collects by handshake. The Agorist beside it never solved land at all. The Objectivist to its market side denies the premise that the earth was ever a commons.
Figures — real and imagined — who share the Geoanarchist base ideology. They differ only on the third axis: from radical to restorationist, each is a different face of a Geoanarchist.
