In this compelling episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd delves into Murray Rothbard's critical examination of the pervasive myth that "we are the government." By reading and reflecting on a poignant excerpt from Rothbard's Anatomy of the State, Jacob challenges the notion that democratic participation equates to moral complicity in government actions.
Jacob articulates that casting a vote does not grant ownership over governmental institutions like the IRS, the Pentagon, or law enforcement agencies. He emphasizes that moral truths remain constant regardless of majority opinion—highlighting that actions such as theft and murder do not become justifiable through democratic processes. Drawing from biblical principles, he underscores that rulers are meant to be ministers of justice, not deities appointed by popular vote, and reminds listeners that Christians are citizens of God's Kingdom, not merely subjects of earthly governments.
