Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.

Peaceful Anarchism is interviewed by Liberty Hangout

Please enjoy my recent conversation with Liberty Hangout. Herein we discussed my introduction to voluntaryism, the implications of marxist policies, Bernie Sanders, Austrian economics, self-education, the value of a college education, the power of technology, as well as the imperative value of the individual and more!

 

The more subsidized it is, the less free it is. What is known as ‘free education’ is the least free of all, for it is a state-owned institution; it is socialized education – just like socialized medicine or the socialized post office – and cannot possibly be separated from political control.

Please enjoy this recent episode of the Seeds of Liberty Podcast. This week we were joined by Anam Paiseanta, a voluntaryist and author of the children’s book Three Friends Free. Herein we discussed Anam’s journey to anarchism, following your own ideas, pro-government wiring, enduring 15,000 hours of being raised by the State, Anam’s book Three Friends Free, road pirates, being an unintentional author, levels of awareness, how humans are here to search for their highest potential and achieve the deepest experiences, trading hopes and dreams for beautiful memories, Daoism, how having a variety of ideas is “just fine” in a free world, being forced into religion, free beliefs, a little Pope smackdown, how culture is completely voluntary, deferring responsibility to an “authority”, statism as a religion, the divine right of politicians, creating a mind matrix, looking at your paradigms from different perspectives, a little love for Larken Rose, Toto pulling back the curtain, finding real life friends, the Connector App, and more!

In order to change an existing paradigm you do not struggle to try and change the problematic model. You create a new model and make the old one obsolete.

“The whole Good Cop / Bad Cop question can be disposed of much more decisively. We need not enumerate what proportion of cops appears to be good or listen to someone’s anecdote about his uncle Charlie, an allegedly good cop. We need only consider the following:

(1) A cop’s job is to enforce the laws, all of them;

(2) Many of the laws are manifestly unjust, and some are even cruel and wicked;

(3) Therefore every cop has to agree to act as an enforcer for laws that are manifestly unjust or even cruel and wicked.

There are no good cops.” Robert Higgs
