I consider myself a voluntarist. We are about the same as anarchists because neither of us believes that he state is good for anything besides theft, murder and kidnapping. People can handle all of it privately on a voluntary basis. Justice can even be meted out by the voluntarism principles. The non aggression principle is one of the bedrocks of both. Well, perhaps voluntarism is the same as anarchism (but anarchists have a really bad rep).

I also like the voluntarist label and use it often. One of the reasons I like it is that people don't already have a sense of what it is, so they have to actually think about my description of it.
I'd say it's a sub-category of anarchism. There are anarchists who are fine with violent expropriation and "voluntarism" sets us apart from them.

Yes, there are all too many people who did their murder that got classified as “Anarchist” for my tastes. Also, the NAP is a very strong feature in workable societies, but not the state. FTS!!
