As a philosophy and as a practice, Anarchism has always had a special interest in the topic of education. Just as we call into question the social role of police or question what it means to be a citizen, so do we critique the role of a teacher or what it means to be a student. Power dynamics pervade in our society, manifesting in overt and subtle ways with varying degrees of obviousness to each individual. Anarchism seeks to make them apparent, to abolish them, and to replace them with infinite freedom.Domination maintains not only through coercion, but also through the cultural support of ordinary people for whom hierarchy plagues the very fabric of their psyche. This way of relating to one another is modeled and forced upon a forgotten class of individuals, youth. Through precious formative years that can’t be given back, compulsion, punishment, and obedience is worshiped. It’s no wonder so many adults simply can not imagine a world without such restraints.

Luckily, some people are actively fighting against oppression and building alternatives to the toxic status quo. It often seems that being a mover and a shaker naturally stirs controversy, and my guest today is no different. But the truth is, if you’re not making someone angry, you’re probably not doing it right. Antonio Buehler is an american educator, anarchist, and activist who co-founded Peaceful Streets Project, an organization dedicated to building and empowering communities to fight police abuse. Antonio is also the founder of Abrome, a learning community which helps young people identify and engage in deep, meaningful, and enduring experiences through self directed education. Having dedicated a healthy amount of his time and energy to documenting police violence, Antonio is no stranger to the horrors of the police state. Because of his dedication to holding cops accountable, he has also been arrested several times, and targeted for state surveillance. He’s a passionate and provocative advocate for police abolition and youth liberation.

In this installment we discuss the problems with schooling, cops, and prisons. We also explore youth liberation more broadly, the importance of smashing white supremacy, and grassroots solutions to overcoming privilege and power.

Nathan Goodman is a PhD student in the Department of Economics at George Mason University. He earned his Bachelor of Science in mathematics from the University of Utah. Nathan has worked as a research fellow for the Center for a Stateless Society, a program intern for the Law & Economics Center at George Mason University, and a summer fellow at the Fully Informed Jury Association. His research interests include defense and peace economics, Austrian economics, public choice economics, and self-governance.

What would a world beyond cops look like? What is a healthy way of organizing defense in any given society? And how might theory or and actually existing examples of communities without cops, inform our hopes of living in a world without coercive authority? Nathan Goodman has spent some time researching and writing on related topics, and in this episode, we discuss these issues and more in detail.

Joe Peacott is an individualist anarchist writer based in the United States. He’s a well-respected thinker and theorist in radical spaces, who seems to be criminally underground, even within the underground. He’s a leading figure at BAD Press, a publishing outlet for individualist anarchist philosophy, and has a noted involvement in anti-war activism. His economic and sociological work has been published by the Libertarian Alliance and referenced favorably by leading anarchist scholars such as Kevin A. Carson. He opposes both capitalism and state socialism and is a proponent of both market exchange and a society where people are able to realize the full value of their labor. Joe has written extensively on economics but has also explored esoterica surrounding sex, drugs, and other related topics.

In this installment, we discuss individualism, labor freedom, anti-capitalist markets, healthcare, american libertarianism, historical anarchist spaces, and more.

Welcome to All Power To The Imagination; an expansive adventure through interesting texts and conversations, guided by our host and producer, Frank Miroslav.

Frank Miroslav does technology stuff by day and writes at the Center for a Stateless Society by night. You may remember Frank from Non Serviam Podcast Ep. #4, where we discussed free-market-communism, neoclassical economics and it's relationship to socialism, neoreaction, corporate domination, anarchist tactics, and more. If you're not already familiar with Frank and his perspective, definitely check out that episode before you listen to All Power To The Imagination Ep. #2 next month!

In this first episode of All Power To The Imagination, Frank introduces us to the show format and jumps right into a discussion of complexity; one of the main themes of this new show.

Join us for the 17th episode of the podcast where Joel is joined by a couple of thoughtful friends to discuss useful, and not so useful ways of practicing emancipatory politics. We touch on the radical & practical potential of cooperatives, how they relate to anarchism, and our most recent plans moving forward with Non Serviam Media. Be sure to stick around to the end of this one to hear a quick chat Stephen had with Frank Miroslav about his new show called All Power To The Imagination.

At Non Serviam Studios we're trying to do our part during these difficult times, so here's something a little different to pass the quarentime! We've slapped all the Non Serviam Podcast Lightning Rounds of 2019 into one super Lightning Round Compilation episode. It's a lot of fun, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Covid-19 Update

Before the turn of the year, in Wuhan China, an epidemic broke out that took the world by its grips. They called it the coronavirus, or COVD-19. From China to Iran, to Italy, and even the United States, the virus has taken thousands upon thousands of innocent lives. As global supply chains threaten to fail us, as ordinary people continue to lose their jobs, and with few signs of the coronavirus slowing down, it’s difficult to not feel a bit anxious under the weight of a pandemic seemingly capable of tremendous destruction. What caused it? How can we stop it? To what extent are states responsible for this mess? Can anarchism bring anything useful to the discussion? The slogan for this podcast is “radical voices in precarious times''. It’s possible that this episode captures the spirit of those words better than any other interview we’ve released.

Dr. Michael Laufer is the first person to appear twice on the show. He’s is the Director of the Institute for Autonomous Medicine and the Chief spokesperson for the Four Thieves Vinegar Collective. In this episode, we discuss anarchism in the time of pandemic. We covered how Four Thieves Vinegar Collective has responded to COVID-19, how states have responded to COVID-19, the importance of mutual aid, and even dabbled in some post-pandemic forecasting.
