Seeds of Liberty Podcast Episode 45: Christopher Chase Rachels, Author of A Spontaneous Order

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!

Christopher Chase Rachels: Voluntaryist, Author, and Co-Founder of the Blue Ridge Liberty Project

Please enjoy my recent conversation with Christopher Chase Rachels. Herein we discussed how he became a Voluntaryist, founding the Blue Ridge Liberty Project, why Ashville, living with like-minded people, honing the message of liberty, what’s his book about, criticisms, being pro liberty, in your Anarchy society fallacy, every “ism” is the initiation of force except Voluntaryism, voting with your dollars, the Free Market rewards thrift and efficiency, without government we would be savages fallacy, appeal to the stick, the wondrous potential that government force destroys, moral hazard, perverted incentives, intellectual growth requires humility, we’re all born anarchists, military and police are the supreme nationalists, American Sniper, the necessary evil, truth must be complex fallacy, appeal to authority, politicians promising free stuff and more!

 

The great non sequitur committed by defenders of the State, including classical Aristotelian and Thomist philosophers, is to leap from the necessity of society to the necessity of the State.

Murray Rothbard, The Ethics of Liberty
