ABSTRACT
This chapter covers the "preferred strategies", those that are completely consistent, namely "agitation" and "passive resistance". These have the potential to become full-blown praxis, where practices that will be central to the future individualist anarchy are applied now to move a statist society in the direction of anarchy. Tucker seems to have preferred the former, accepting without apology the term "plumbline" anarchism, while other writers criticized Liberty for being too critical of reformers whose hearts if not their heads were in the right place. Tucker seems to have seen passive resistance in primarily strategic terms: if done by individuals, it could only be propaganda, but if by a substantial minority, it could be truly subversive. Victor Yarros saw passive resistance in terms of praxis: it was a strategy to subvert the state that was also the embryo of the social dynamics of anarchy.
