*Voluntaryism is a political philosophy about the formation of society that is based on voluntary means and mutual agreement, rather than force or threat. It emphasizes natural rights, individual liberty and non-aggression, and rejects coercion by illegitimate or unwarranted authority. Simply put, everything done is with the consent of anyone involved.
