Please enjoy this recent episode of the Seeds of Liberty Podcast. This week we were joined again by our favorite Voluntaryist rapper, Jared Howe. Herein we discussed people’s ‘need’ for the internet, non-violent communication, crazy Bernie supporters, descriptive vs. prescriptive analysis, Trump as the most meme-able candidate, whether voting is moral/immoral/amoral, the implications of elections, signaling to statists, and more!
Voting, the be all and end all of modern democratic politicians, has become a farce, if indeed it was ever anything else. By voting, the people decide only which of the oligarchs preselected for them as viable candidates will wield the whip used to flog them and will command the legion of willing accomplices and anointed lickspittles who perpetrate the countless violations of the people’s natural rights. Meanwhile, the masters soothe the masses by assuring them night and day that they – the plundered and bullied multitudes who compose the electorate – are themselves the government.

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.
