Please enjoy this recent episode of the Seeds of Liberty Podcast. This week we were joined by Nick Hazelton, who is the host of the Anarcho-Yakitalism Podcast and a co-host of the Freedom Feens. Herein we discussed Nick’s extremely short journey to anarchy, being a 12 year old that’s interested in politics, having your parents work in the same school as you attend, aspiring to be the Yak Whisperer, taking over a picnic area, getting close enough to milk a yak, convincing your parents that you don’t need school, being told that you are hypocritical for using the forced monopolies of the State, having a side hustle, starting a business to escape from the State, farming yaks and reindeer, growing mushrooms, and more!
A man is no less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years.
Please enjoy this recent episode of the Seeds of Liberty Podcast. This week we were joined by Jared Howe, better known as J3443 One, a voluntaryist rapper. Herein we discuss his path to voluntaryism, how statism starts at home, (Live)Stockholm Syndrome, free will, solipsism, reconciling Article 1 Sect 8 of the U.S. CONstitution, political correctness and its origins, the myth of income inequality, what Jared hopes to accomplish through his music, MC Scrooge McDuck, getting support from all over the globe, educating others on voluntaryism, Hashtag – #DaniloLaughs, how Bernie Sanders has the young voters who don’t think well locked down, being thrown in jail for saving your daughter’s life, banning assault football, Reefer Madness, how cannabis belongs in the produce section, some beard talk with Dave, how infringing on someone’s right to self-ownership is slavery, how technology is making the State obsolete, and more!
But, of course, the practical political conclusions which people drew from this dogma were not uniform. One group declared that there is but one way to wipe out these evils, namely to abolish capitalism entirely. They advocate the substitution of public control of the means of production for private control. They aim at the establishment of what is called socialism, communism, planning, or state capitalism. All these terms signify the same thing. No longer should the consumers, by their buying and abstention from buying, determine what should be produced, in what quantity and of what quality. Henceforth a central authority alone should direct all production activities.
This is what happens when we advocate for “government” which by definition puts the collective or “society” over the individual. The collective is never more important than the individual! If you truly believe this then by all means donate 100% of your currency to “government and send your precious children off to die for banksters, politicians, and war profiteers overseas in the War on Terror. Nothing is stopping you! The individual be damned!
If, however, you value the rights of the individual you must respect every individual’s right to do with their body and their property as they wish. To ignore this is to ignore that individual’s self-ownership. Indeed our body is our first property. If we do not have a primary claim on our body, how can we possibly own anything else? You feed your body. You nourish your body. You take care of your body. If you wish to live to 100 years, become indebted to someone else, enter into an intimate union with another, refuse medical treatment, or kill yourself nobody has the right to stop you. If somebody purports to have a higher claim on your body then they have become your master and you their slave. Never allow any man or institution to make such a false claim!
Violence is only justified when someone attempts to subjugate you or otherwise coerce you into doing something against your will. This is known as self-defense. Every organism in nature has means for self-defense or they would not survive for long. This is requisite for survival. Such means may include fangs, venom, claws, speed, camouflage, size, strength etc. True pacifism is self-destructive. Obedience to authority is not a virtue. It is one of the most destructive characteristics a human being can exhibit! It is the cause of all of the horrific atrocities we read in the history books! It is the most dangerous superstition!
You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.
