The Communist Manifesto was published in 1848 and has served as a guide for those who want to centralize and control others for years.

But it's time to change the script on this old and destructive ideology.

Mark Moss and Aleks Svetski are doing just that with their new book, The UnCommunist Manifesto: A Message of Hope, Responsibility and Liberty for All.

On this episode of The Wiggin Sessions, Mark and Aleks join me to discuss their inspiration for writing The UnCommunist Manifesto, describing how Marxism justifies entropy and entitlement and what may have influenced Marx’s worldview.

Mark and Aleks explain why capitalism must be stripped from politics entirely and offer insight around money as a communication of value.

Listen in to understand why Bitcoin is such an important, world-changing innovation (despite its volatility) and learn how we can promote a system of dynamic inequality that holds people accountable for the decisions they make.
