No idea what you mean by a voluntarist, but I am very opposed to a shooting war. A hot civil war in the united states would have no winners, just a variety of losers.

Voluntarists are capitalists that believe in voluntary trade of captital for goods and services in a free market. Unlike socialism and communism where all goods, services and capital are taken at gunpoint and then redistributed by the government.

Oops, totally misinterpreted @liberpede's comment. My bad, and yes I am I guess. Never really knew that it was an actual ideology.

You already know it and love it. It's the laissez-faire free market side of capitalism, Voluntarism is just the technical name for it. Commies hate the laissez-faire free market because they're a bunch of authoritarians (the polar opposite end of the capitalism spectrum) so they often deride it as "capitalism" as if socialism and communism weren't also capitalists.
