I had to think a bit about the title of today’s show.  It was spawned by this quite anti capitalist article at The Exiled.  Let me say I feel the author Yasha Levine is coming at things from a leftist anarcho position, however the article is absolutely accurate in its telling of history.  The upshot, capitalism is bad!  And yet I am a self described “anarcho capitalist”.  So is capitalism bad, or is it good?  As always, it depends! This led me to the distinction between a system of capitalism (in general statism in the form of modern fascism) and … Continue reading →

Today facebook is ringing out the bells of the end of all as we know it.  Half screaming that is Hillary wins WWIII will happen by February and the other half claiming Trump will have a hit squad out knifing Mexican orphans throwing them over the wall. Sorry guys at my age I have seen all this shit many times before.  The surprise to me is how many times I have read the word “leader” and “leadership” in all of this.  As in, “the US is in desperate need of a great leader”, that type of thing.   As if any … Continue reading →

Well with all that went on in the last month I never got the Tuesday polls posted so I have to call an audible today and pick my own show, I think long time listeners will be pleased with it. I sat today in dismay as I looked at Fox News and CNN for just a bit to get a feel for what is going on with the Assclown Circus of 2016.  All I hear is each side saying the other side sucks more.  I am getting emails from listeners about how family members are angry with each other because … Continue reading →

Despite this phraseology today’s show isn’t a play on Jeff Foxworthy’s you might be a red neck if.  Today we won’t be either poking fun at anarchists or talking about the things they do and say, as such.  Rather we are going to talk about the core of anarchism and reveal to many who thing anarchism is radical, dangerous, won’t work, etc, that they in fact are at their core already anarchists. How is this possible?  Well anarchism isn’t a way you vote like democrat, republican or even libertarian, it is a philosophy of morality at its core.  It actually … Continue reading →

Episode-1864- Are We the Last Free Generation – Future Generations and Voluntary Servitude

Let me ask you a question, do you really feel future generations will know anything approaching the freedoms we still have today?  Do you think even the freedom that children had in say 1985 will ever be restored?  Have you ever considered the progression of the loss of freedom in this nation? I am talking going way, way back.  It was said of the Native Americans prior to the founding of our nation that “never have there ever been a people who were so free”.  While a valid point, it isn’t exactly true, as many such people were as free … Continue reading →

Episode-1742- Emancipate Yourself

I am going to do something I have never done before, quote Joseph Stalin, The point is that Marxism and anarchism are built up on entirely different principles, in spite of the fact that both come into the arena of the struggle under the flag of socialism. The cornerstone of anarchism is the individual, whose emancipation, according to its tenets, is the principal condition for the emancipation of the masses, the collective body. According to the tenets of anarchism, the emancipation of the masses is impossible until the individual is emancipated. Accordingly, its slogan is: “Everything for the individual.” The … Continue reading →

~~~~~~~ It is a question I think many young people would have to honestly answer with no.  But middle agers, you folks ain’t off the hook here either.  Let us ponder that question today and ask what it would mean to actually be prepared for life and discover if we are even close to teaching our young people that today. What does prepared for life mean, I think it would differ based on who you ask but here is what it basically means to me.  If you are prepared for life you can not just function but thrive no matter … Continue reading →

Yesterday was honestly a bit of a clunky show for me.  Sorry if it seemed that way, you can’t always bat 1,000 you know.  Anyway it ended up in a good place, it forced me to ask some hard questions and to realize a few things should be discussed here.  Specifically in regard to freedom.  Things we discussed many times but now we should discuss with a direct personal application. Some things we must understand about freedom in order to have it First – no one can define freedom for you nor can you for another.  This is actually anti … Continue reading →

Yep this show is about active anarchy, didn’t put that in the title so it would not immediately shut down people that do not know what real anarchy is.  Anarchy is not spoiled young adult children living in the parents basements, listening thrash music and playing games while wearing a black shirt with an A on it. Anarchy is not burning down buildings, demonstrating in the streets or being a non conformist by getting the same tattoo 5,000 other people have.  It isn’t hating everyone who is a cop or works for “the system” while you yourself take advantage of … Continue reading →

So exactly what does it mean to be self-reliant vs. being self-sufficient?  How are the two different and how are they related and how does one interact with the other.  More importantly how do they effect you and you planning both for disaster preparations and independence. The reality is most people use these two phrases interchangeably, but they are quite different in how you measure them and how you use them in your planning. Tune in Today as We Ask… What is self reliance What is self sufficiency Why would you want to be self reliant Why would you want … Continue reading →
