Had a few people message me in the last week to ask about Anarchism stuff.

I'll dump stuff here for people interested in more.

Since this thread has a great search term as a title I'll throw in my favorites too... Let's make this a great resource for all the future WF members who cross over to the team with the white hats...


Best anarchy beginner/introduction vid:

The Philosophy of Liberty: (This is awesome for teaching the core philosophy of Voluntaryism.)

If you were King by Larken Rose:

And when you're ready to start reading:

The Mises Library
(This is the motherload. You can spend years here.)

Freedomain Radio's Library
(Stefan Molyneux is an excellent Anarchist author and hosts the webs largest philosophy blog here. These are great books & mostly free to read.)

Liberty Classroom
(Small subscription fee on this one but it's set up like a whole online school; very worth it.)


If there was one book I had to put forward for new Anarchists, I'd probably say this one: David Friedman - The Machinery of Freedom.
It's free, covers a lot of the questions ppl have about anarchy, and draws an very clear picture of how anarchy can work one day out in the wild.
 
In before "go live in somalia" or Rousseauian social contract B.S.!

While I considered myself a Libertarian for most of my adult life, this is the video that pushed me to embrace Anarchism.

And then there's these:

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzyogKiXhEA"]The Story of Our Unenslavement - YouTube[/ame]



These are just awesome as well:

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTQnarzmTOc"]Fight of the Century: Keynes vs. Hayek Round Two - YouTube[/ame]
 
I thought about including the story of your enslavement with my post but frankly I worry it's a bit too scary for the noobs... It is actually responsible for me waiting LONGER to become an anarchist! ;) (Just a few weeks though.)

Anyway, near the end of it he starts on the topic of indoctrination in our schools. In case someone reading this wants to see the bigger picture of our indoctrinated youth; this vid is awesome, and totally explains why we've never been taught anything close to anarchy in our school systems:

Bitchin'. That first one from RT reminded me I need to keep up on Breaking the Set with my future ex-wife Abby Martin.

btw if anyone HASN'T read Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, buy it now and do so. This shit ain't new.

Great vids, Luke.. and if I was King, I have no illusions about how messed up the world would be.
 
If we're going to do pictures too, gotta include this one:

@Jarred: I Didn't catch Sunset of the state before you posted it. That was AWESOME. Probably Stefbot's best, in fact.
 
Good introduction:

Thanks for the videos guys. It's great listening material while I code. I just got done watching the first two posted by guerilla and they were both great. Doug Casey is pretty awesome.

"If you are completely unskilled, but a good looking female..."

ROFL, that made me laugh pretty hard.

I am a huge Doug Casey fan. I am hoping to meet him next fall.
 
Ooh, just ran across this one that I wish I'd seen earlier... Answers all those stupid questions that Kiopa_Matt & REIMktg keep bringing up:

5 Common Fallacious Critiques of Voluntaryism - YouTube

He shot himself in the foot when he said voluntaryism is a "belief set". That's true, it is a belief set. It's the same as saying if everyone believed the same religion and bowed down to Allah 5 times a day, we'd have world peace, which very well could be true. You'll never get everyone to adopt the same belief set though.

Look, here:

Culture of Life Science News: Homo Sapiens Killed Off Neanderthalers Very Quickly According To New Information

This is where we come from, and this is who we are. There used to be several species of humans roaming around, but us savage and murderous homosapiens wiped the rest of them off the face of the earth. Like it or not, just because technological advances have been massive, doesn't mean our DNA has changed. You bring the human species back to a primitive and unstructured world, and guaranteed we'll begin acting very primitive again. We're not just going to all get along, rejoice in anarchy, and sing kumbaya together.

I'll remind you what I wrote about slavery. At one time, everyone believed in slaves. All of you guys who say anarchism has never worked, are no different than the people who argued we'd always have slavery.

Today, we don't have much slavery, and we have is the less obvious sort. No one is proud to announce they are a slave owner. Obviously SOMETHING changed.

To change the way things generally work, doesn't require 100% agreement, just a prevailing majority.

Like the majority that now tend to believe that women are equal in their humanity to men, and shouldn't be treated as property. Didn't exist 200 years ago (except ironically, in Islam). Exists now.

Again, by this rationale, what we did in the past is what we will always do in the future.

Do you really believe man has not evolved morally, intellectually, and spiritually in the last 250,000 thousand years? Please do respond because it seems to me, that's the premise of your argument.

"What has been will always be."

So you're saying there's no longer slavery in the world? Actually, that's being pedantic, so let's not do that.

Let me ask you, if all laws were stripped from the books, and government was abolished, do you believe slavery would resurface in various parts of the US? Or do you believe everyone's moral compass has intrinsically changed over the past 100 years to the point where nobody would entertain the idea?

I personally believe we'd see slavery pop up again. Maybe not widespread, but it'd be around. Reason it isn't right now is because anyone who tries it gets their ass thrown into prison for 20 years. Same argument can be made against women's rights. And regarding this type of thing, here's Paul Martin's speech just before parliament voted on gay marriage:

http://www.yawningbread.org/apdx_2005/imp-176.htm

That's why having a government is a good idea. Protect minority rights from the whims of the majority, which is why there's no longer slavery, and why women can vote, etc.

Intellectually yeah, a little bit. Spiritually and morally? No. For the spiritually, you only need to open your eyes to modern day organized religion, which is stronger than ever. For morally, I think it's simply a case of appearing that way due to technological advancements. We no longer need to crack someone's head open with a rock to get their food. We have corporations, legal contracts, extortion, and business offices for that now.

The raw moral compass hasn't changed much though, and definitely nowhere near enough to think we're capable of world peace without structure. I mean, just look at the riots in the Middle East that popped up in the past month.
