Doug Casey's Take (#16) Doug is an Anarchist?
When people think of an anarchist they think of a black-clad, bomb-thrower advocating chaos. But, in this episode, Doug Casey explains how the word anarchist has been corrupted like so much of the language. In fact, an anarchist has a lot more in common with a Taoist than a black-block member of Antifa.
Also in this episode:
European anarchism vs. American anarchism
Personal responsibility and why people like offloading responsibility to the state
The false choice of left vs. right
The conflation of a country with a government and 'legal' with 'right'
Coercion vs. volunteerism
The type of country where one can live freely
How Doug came to write the forward for the book that crystalized his thinking
