(updated October 2022)
This group is for those who are
a. confessionally Reformed:
affirming a historical Reformed confession that is compatible with
libertarian anarchism,
such as WCF (1788), BC (1958), LBC (1689) [or 2HC
(1564), SD (1658), or others, while rejecting establishmentarian
clauses and/or statements that require civil governance to use coercion
against any non-aggressive immorality]
and
b. politically libertarian-anarchist:
affirming self-ownership and the non-aggression principle, and rejecting the legitimacy and necessity of the state
On general libertarianism: https://mises.org/library/what-libertarianism
More on reformed anarchism: https://reformedanarchism.blogspot.com/p/what-is-reformed-anarchism.html
The purpose of this group is thoughtful discussion and sharing information about a Reformed view of libertarian anarchism and free market economics, and their relation to a Reformed worldview, philosophy, theology, and other topics.
To facilitate the purpose of the group:
1. Before you ask a question:
check the group search function to see how it may have been asked and answered already.
2. Keep it grown-up, friendly, and Christian.
No personal insults of any kind are permitted. Disagreement and counter-argument must be expressed Christianly and politely. Communicate only in ways that builds-up those you address. No profanity or vulgarity. No libel/slander.
See here for info on effective discussion: https://reformedanarchism.blogspot.com/2020/05/effective-discussion-principles.html
3. Keep it relevant to our purpose.
When posting a link (article or audio/video) you must provide either your thoughtful opinion on the piece, or a statement/question about it relevant to Reformed anarchism. No 'bare' links. No memes, picture/photo posts, sticker/gif comments. No spamming, trolling, ads, or mere 'joke' posts. No 'hogging'; be selective and generally do not exceed one post per day.

4. Keep it private.
No screenshots of group activity posted outside the group without the express permission of all parties involved.
5. We do not allow promotion of:
a. views contrary to doctrines common to the Reformed confessions. (Also, no pictures of Jesus/God)
b. views contrary to libertarian anarchism and/or free market economics
c. theonomy, theocracy, Christian nationalism, establishmentarianism, or the use of coercion against non-aggressive immorality
d. neonomianism, ‘New Perspective’, Federal Vision, or similar teachings rejected by confessional Reformed churches, or material from the heretic Doug Wilson/CREC/Canon Press
e. patriarchalism
(the erroneous idea that a man's headship extends beyond a husband in relation to his wife, and/or that leadership is restricted to males beyond church office, and/or a woman's or wife's role is exclusively domestic)
f. feminism
(the erroneous idea that society is based on male oppression of females, and/or all sex/gender differences are illusory).
