Joe Peacott is an individualist anarchist writer based in the United States. He is a leading figure at BAD Press, a publishing outlet for individualist anarchist philosophy. His work on economics and sociology has been published by the Libertarian Alliance and referenced favourably by leading anarchist scholars such as Kevin A. Carson. Peacott's anti-war activism in Anchorage, Alaska was the subject of TV station KTUU broadcast. Peacott, in the tradition of the 19th century American individualist anarchists, supports private property in the sense of ownership based on labor and trade except for in land where he supports property titles only while the land is being occupied or used and opposes profit in economic relations. He opposes both capitalism and state socialism.
Famous quotes containing the word joe:
“While we were thus engaged in the twilight, we heard faintly, from far down the stream, what sounded like two strokes of a woodchopper’s axe, echoing dully through the grim solitude.... When we told Joe of this, he exclaimed, “By George, I’ll bet that was a moose! They make a noise like that.” These sounds affected us strangely, and by their very resemblance to a familiar one, where they probably had so different an origin, enhanced the impression of solitude and wildness.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
