Episode 227: Episode 227 - Ben-Hur (1:28:10)

It's our annual Easter Special with the Anarcho-Christian. Last year we did The Robe, and the year before that was The Passion of the Christ. This year we are doing an old-time classic epic as we review the Chuck Heston flick, Ben-Hur. In this 2nd of 3 adaptations of this tale of Christ, we find the Romans oppressing a people and a hero emerges among them who at first is seeking revenge for horrible wrongs, but finds forgiveness is the true power. This will be fun as we always have a great discussion with the Anarcho-Christian. Next week we will be doing the Ridley Scott version of Robin Hood with our buddy Mike T. from the Battle for Liberty show, which is presently on hiatus. Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/227 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)
