Please enjoy this recent episode of the Seeds of Liberty Podcast. This week we were joined by Christopher Chase Rachels, author of “Spontaneous Order: The Capitalist Case For A Stateless Society” and founder of the Voluntaryist Initiative. Herein we discussed the beginnings of the Voluntaryist Initiative, how peaceful parenting is a necessary but insufficient means towards achieving a free society, self-segregation, how a capitalist system allows for communism but not the other way around, how socialism being feasible on the family level does not translate to it working for millions, how production is the necessary antecedent to consumption, how hacktivism can be a useful tool in circumventing the supposed necessity of the State, what led Chase to write his book, answering the “How would X work?” questions, assuaging the fears of a stateless society, bridging the gap between layman and scholar, how voting upholds the perceived legitimacy of the State, how monarchies are preferable to democracies, and more!
A practitioner of Eastern Healing arts with degrees in Acupuncture and Chinese medicinal herbs, I have always questioned the status quo, a path which led me to peaceful anarchism. Through my journey, I have worn many hats, that of a classical pianist, avid chess player, philosopher, comedian, and now father of two little anarchists. My wife brands me as a Cultural Critic, but I am simply following my thirst for knowledge and passion for writing.
