Actual Anarchy Podcast - AnCap Movie Reviews from a Rothbardian Perspective

We take the President's Day holiday as an opportunity to examine America's favorite president as depicted by Daniel Day-Lewis in Steven Spielberg's Lincoln. Let's just say that a Rothbardian Anarcho-Capitalist perspective is not kind to old "honest" Abe.

We have a special guest, Actual Anarchy contributor, Rex Gazer. Look for articles from him on the site soon; and once he launches his own, we will push it vigorously.

From the film, we see our hero avoiding peace by delay; thus prolonging the war. Visiting the wounded (A saint!). They depict Lincoln as a deity.

I like how they painted the guy who called out Lincoln for jailing journalists, suspending habeus corpus and acting like a dictator as a smug, virulent racist. Thus, his arguments are automatically invalid.

Later in the movie, Lincoln slapped his son. That's assault brother.

Here are a few articles to review:

The movie that may have started it all! We discuss the 1990 Christian Slater flick Pump Up the Volume that features him as shy high school teenager by date, but a pirate-radio, shock-jock host from his parents' basement by night. He gets a local following by interacting with his audience, but runs afoul of the authorities; both local and federal. It's a move with a strong anti-authoritarian streak that really holds up even today, especially now that almost anybody can now have their own show (such as this one!) via the power of the internet and podcasting.

Speaking of podcasting, our excellent guest, Nathan Fraser has a show and offers services to help you launch your own podcast or start your own business. You can find more information about him here:

We bring on Doc Anarchy to discuss one of the most libertarian films in recent memory, the Dallas Buyers Club starring Matthew McConaughey as Ron Woodroof - a rodeo cowboy who contracts HIV in the early days of the spread of AIDS. There is a lot to unpack in this movie and we found ourselves cheering for Ron as he battled the government that was preventing him from helping himself and helping others by establishing a market for drugs and remedies of their own choosing.

Part 2 of 2 where we discuss the topic-rich, yet wildly contradictory movie, Captain Fantastic. We do actually finish discussing this movie during this episode, but it's nearly two hours. So, we basically talk about this movie for longer than the movie actually is, but no bother. There is so much meat to discuss here. Please do enjoy!

Presented by:

Read Rothbard is comprised of a small group of voluntaryists who are fans of Murray N. Rothbard. We curate content on the www.ReadRothbard.com site including books, lectures, articles, speeches, and we make a weekly podcast based on his free-market approach to economics. Our focus is on education and how advancement in technology improves the living standards of the average person.

The Read Rothbard Podcast is all about Maximum Freedom. We look at movies and current events from a Rothbardian Anarchist perspective. If it's voluntary, we're cool with it. If it's not, then it violated the Non-Aggression Principle and Property Rights - the core tenants of Libertarian Theory - and hence - human freedom.

Part 1 of 2 where we discuss the topic-rich, yet wildly contradictory movie, Captain Fantastic. We change up the process slightly, where rather than give a synopsis and then discuss the movie - we opt to synopse-and-discuss in real-time. Hence, in the first episode, we only get threw the first few scenes of the movie, leaving us for a marathon episode 2 to cover the majority of the film. Enjoy!
