From the ancient Greek without rulers that simple to me
anarchism synonymous with libertarianism synonymous with
abolitionism. It's this the exact same thing.
All an abolitionist said was that these people shouldn't be
ruled. They shouldn't be slaves, there
shouldn't be the slave slave master relationship.
And to me that's what an anarchist is.
You want to abolish one Central thing and that slavery and If
people ask, you know, well what what is the libertarian say
about this, or about this? And our answer is always
essentially nothing. We say that you shouldn't
initiate violence against peaceful people.
That's always say and add that has a lot of implications.
A lot of very important implications, but it's like
asking an abolitionist. Well, what do you say about what
jobs? The slaves should get after
their freed, who cares? We should abolish slavery the
top of the show, Michael. That I am not an anarchist.
But like I really enjoyed talking to you and to Dave Smith
because because both of you were coming out of that.
Mindset. And and you, there have been
these models posited to me where I'm like, that really made me
think of things differently. It was either you or Dave.
I don't remember which but kind of brought up that, like, if the
government's just a big corporation, like would you let
it do? What it's currently doing?
Like if they're in theory, if we got to vote for, whoever was the
head of Microsoft. We all got to vote for the
president of Microsoft, but Microsoft was then put in charge
of the military and police in schools and all that kind.
Would you be all right with it is like, no, of course not.
I would be okay with that at all, and I, well, for some
reason we have this sort of Sanctifying almost holdover idea
from the Middle Ages of we've sort of transmuted, Divine,
Right? Rule in a democracy where as
democracy works. Then then a corporate body is
now fine. It's been Sanctified, it's
different than a corporation at that point and it it I do enjoy
talking to you guys because it gives me this very different
perspective on how I look at Power.
Okay, go ahead. My world, you act against them
is based at their one is self owner and that the guiding
principle for social relations is what we call the
non-aggression principle. Meaning you are not in a
position to a Press against another person through force or
fraud. And if someone does issue Force
against you, then you have the right to retaliate.
And this very simple principle is basis of all interpersonal
relationships. So frustrating, there's one are
that they throw in there, right? So anarchism means without
rulers, there's no centralized coercive Authority.
And, and the reason one of the reasons why anarchism is so
appealing is not only is it intellectually consistent, but
also, when you have Centralized pyramid of power in society.
You have no rules. They change all the time.
That Paulette me. Just just look at what happened
with spying on the Trump Administration than the lying
about it. And these allegations, the FBI
is changing records and can't find.
Like, there's no rules. Look at the clintons.
I mean, there's no. So when you get this you don't
get rules, you just get chaos and and bribery and panic, and
manipulation and lies. And so that's, that's, that's no
rules. So Erica simply says without
rulers, no rulers, but everyone takes.
That last are Crowd says. Oh, that means no rules.
And it's like, no, no, let's say we want rules right now.
We have no rules in a free Society.
The rules are negotiated that consistent there.
The minimum necessary there, you know, constantly being whittled
away as new technology, arises and so on.
And so this idea that Eric is the means without rules and
okay, some is the only way we ever get consistent objective
and rational rules in society, and never going to get it
through the state. It's to subject to the power.
Principal Mark. What is anarchism Anarchism
simply as the state by which there are no rulers over other
people. There are no Masters and there
are no slaves. The word anarchism is actually,
derived from two Greek words, the prefix, a, or an in Greek
simply means without, or the absence of.
And the now, Narcos archon in Greek means ruler or master in
the actual connotative sense of being an owner of other people.
Or like a slave owner a king who rules over its subjects.
A master in that sense not someone who has come to a very
low level of advanced knowledge and is therefore called a master
of some skill set or something like that.
The connotation of the word Archos or Arcana, in Greek means
a master over a slave or a king who is above his subjects.
So, if you put those two root words together and an archon
where we get Anarchy from it, simply means the absence of
rulers or And therefore, that means that there are no Masters
and no slaves and that is called the state of Freedom Larkin.
What is anarchism? Well, he just gave it a perfect
definition of Anarchy. Anarchism is the advocacy of
that to me. It's it's even sort of silly and
funny that there need to be such words like there is not a word.
That means someone who doesn't believe in Santa Claus there.
Is not a word that means someone who doesn't Advocate killing and
eating his neighbors, like, government and authoritarianism,
and statism is insane and immoral.
But because it's so rampant, there needs to be a term.
That means, I'm one of the people who doesn't want somebody
to violently dominate. You I think the day will come.
And I don't even think it's all that far in the future when
nobody will, use the word because it will literally
describe everybody because everyone will have outgrown this
the super Fission, but for now being an anarchist literally
just means, I don't want to rule, or for me and I don't want
to rule, or for you. I want you to be actually free.
And to me, that's that's just sort of the step, one of being a
decent human being. I don't even see it.
As some, you know, outlandish philosophy.
It's just like how to be civilized, 101 fraction.
All government is immoral because it is the idea.
Yeah, that certain people have the right to issue commands to
other people. And that those other people have
some sort of a moral obligation to follow the commands of this,
dictate. Toriel ruling class come and
Roderick. I don't want to accuse you of
anything, but it's rumored that you're an anarchist.
I mean, is that actually correct?
Yes. Yes.
There is some truth to the rumor.
What does that mean? Well it Anarchist in this
context to someone who wants to abolish the state where the
state is understood. Not as long and order as I
noticed, I have no objection to Law and Order.
I'd like to see more of it. But as the state is a
territorial monopolist of Law and Order.
Just as shoe monopolist, we could be someone who says, no
one is allowed to make shoes. Except me, and I will decide
what shoes you get and how much you pay for it.
So the government is an institution that says, you know,
no one's allowed to produce any law and order except me in this
area. And I will decide what kind of
laws you get. What kind of what are you
getting at? How much you pay for it?
And if you don't like it, well, you know, every 46 years, you
can petition for some change in the Personnel of my company.
Private property, so we have to go after.
But obviously the government lives off, predation on private
property. That's how it survives.
So it's not the protector. It's the and is quotes on
Anarchy by Murray and rothbard anarchism is a simple matter of
libertarian logic, once concede, the power of the people to
consent as well as the natural law of equal freedom from
subjugation and The Logical Ernst must be anarchism once
admit any? Right of secession, whatever.
And there is no logical stopping point short of the right of
individual secession which logically entails anarchism.
Since then individuals may secede and patronize their own
defense agencies. And the state has crumbled law,
and the state are both conceptually and historically,
separable, and law would develop in an anarchistic Society.
Out, any form of state liberty is a profoundly revolutionary
concept and it can only be achieved through the liquidation
of the oppressor state. We must hold as our foremost
objective, the abolition of the state, the aim of free market
and artists is precisely to end governmental, omnipotence and
planning, and, to substitute for this each man's planning for
himself. As long as the state exists and
has it It's being none of us can be totally free Libertarians.
Want the end of politics. They wish to abolish politics
forever. So that each individual may live
his life. Unmolested.
And as he sees fit, an ergo capitalism is an easily
explainable system. I am a dedicated Anarchist.
I am indeed opposed to the state and therefore to politics if the
state and politics disappeared tomorrow.
No, I would be happier than myself.
I Define Anarchist society as one where there was no legal
possibility for coercive, aggression against the person or
property of any individual Anarchist suppose, the state
because it has, it's very being in such aggression, namely the
expropriation of private property through taxation the
coercive exclusion of other providers of Defense service
from its territory and all of the other depredations and
coercions that are built upon these twin Foci of invasions of
individual rights. Only the state can confiscate my
property or put me in jail. If I do not pay a tax tribute,
therefore only the state regularly exists and has.
It's very being by means of coercive.
Depredations on private property.
Anarchists are interested in the abolition of this type of
action. EG aggressive physical violence
against person. Property, what anarchism
proposes to do then is to abolish the state IE to abolish.
The regular rised institution of aggressive coercion.
The Hallmark of an anarchist Society is one where no man May
legally compel, someone who is not convicted a convicted
criminal to do anything since that would be aggression against
an innocent man's person or property under anarchism.
There can be no coercion of the non-criminal.
Our ultimate objective is to privatize all of society to turn
all governmental operations over to private Enterprise.
The state should be abolished and all functions.
Privatized, a truly free market is totally incompatible with the
existence of a state, an institution that presumes to
defend person and property by it self subsisting on the
unilateral coercion against private property known as
taxation. There was no accepted meaning to
the word anarchism itself. The average person may think he
knows what it means, especially that it is bad.
But actually he does not one very popular charge against
anarchism is that it means chaos.
Anarchists have regularly believe that the establishment
of their system would eliminate the chaotic elements.
Now, troubling the world. The root of the word comes from
the term and Argos meaning opposition to Authority or
commands brief. Comment here government is the
number one cause of chaos World War One, World War, Two Vietnam
Korea. Yemen today Mao Hitler Stalin.
Pol Pot governments, and number one, cause of chaos.
They make arbitrary rules and force them on voluntary actions.
That otherwise would be peaceful.
They cage people for victimless crimes engage in mass murder and
totally get away with it. Governments.
Number one, cause of chaos, not anarchism.
We must conclude. Dude, that the question are
Libertarians. Anarchists simply cannot be
answered on etymological grounds.
Thank you for watching Keith, and I don't try it on anyone.
