Zihuatanejo Project
Zihuatanejo Project
The Zihuatanejo Project was an initiative that aimed to create a self-sustaining and self-governing community, free from the constraints of traditional societal norms and governmental oversight. The project was named after the Mexican fishing village of Zihuatanejo, which was popularized in the novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption by Stephen King and its subsequent film adaptation, The Shawshank Redemption.
History[edit | edit source]
The Zihuatanejo Project was conceived in the late 1960s by Robert LeFevre, a prominent libertarian and founder of the Rampart College. LeFevre envisioned a society where individuals could live freely, without the interference of government or any other coercive institutions. The project was inspired by the principles of anarcho-capitalism, a political philosophy that advocates for the elimination of the state in favor of individual sovereignty, private property, and free markets.
Philosophy[edit | edit source]
The philosophy of the Zihuatanejo Project was rooted in the principles of voluntaryism, which advocates for voluntary interactions between individuals and rejects the use of force or coercion. The project sought to create a society where all interactions were voluntary and based on mutual consent. This philosophy was reflected in the project's approach to governance, which rejected traditional forms of government in favor of self-governance and individual autonomy.
Legacy[edit | edit source]
While the Zihuatanejo Project ultimately did not succeed in its goal of creating a self-sustaining and self-governing community, it left a lasting impact on the libertarian movement. The project's emphasis on voluntaryism and self-governance continues to influence libertarian thought and has inspired similar initiatives.
