Episode 205 - The Purge (1:31:28)

This week we get into the spirit and do a movie that we believe will be appropriate for the aftermath of the election - no matter the victor - as we do “The Purge” with Olof the AnarchoViking. The Purge is an American media franchise centered on a series of dystopian action horror films distributed by Universal Pictures and produced by Blumhouse Productions and Platinum Dunes, mainly created by James DeMonaco. The films present a seemingly normal, crime free America in the near-future. Join us next week for a special Armistice Day episode as we are joined by the great, Kyle Anzalone of the Libertarian Institute and host of Conflicts of Interest to do the listener-suggested and oft-overlooked, “The Beast of War”. Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/205 Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.com Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective. We use movies as a starting point for people who may not be familiar with this way of thinking. Discussion of the plot and decisions that characters make in relation to morality and violations of the non-aggression principle are our bread and butter. We also will highlight and discuss any themes or lessons from Austrian Economics that we can glean from the film. The point is to show what anarchy actually is with instances that are presented in film. We publish at least once per week; and occasionally will do specials surrounding holidays or events (elections/olympics) and have guests. SUBSCRIBE, RATE AND REVIEW ON APPLE PODCASTS (or iTUNES)
