Man, I can't thank you enough for what you do. You do it exceptionally well. I want to thank you greatly for these episodes on Anarchism. Nobody addresses it. When people do address it they don't look at historical or classical Anarchism but look at "Anarcho Capitalism" which is not traditional Anarchism and really isn't anarchism at all. You did a great job on these episodes.

Thank you so much for this. These episodes are truly important to understand Anarchism in a great historical context. I think we all need a little bit of it in our lives.

Thank you for the work that you do! This episodes reminds me of what was said by Slavonic Zizech, on a documentary- 'Examined Life'. He says, 'Shit Disappears... but trash does not'. He goes on to explain who the current system produces trash at an alarming rate and how this the system ignores the rational prediction of scientists of an impending ecological disaster. Learning so much from your episodes. Thank you again!

You truly do this in an exceptional way You should maybe do it more often as your episodes are too far away from each other. Not a critic just wants to see more from you more often you are so good at it and certainly bring value and meaning into peoples lives. Just wanted to say Your content is wanted and desired and valuable.

Perfect.. a great gift for a Tuesday evening. I did note however that your last episode asked if we should "overthrow the government tomorrow", and I was disappointed that that particular tomorrow came and went, and we still have a government. Perhaps that was hypothetical...

Great episode, as always! I would recommend an episode on Whitehead influenced philosophers and scientists, like I. McGilchrist. To me there seems to be a revolution in organicist (non-reductionist) thinking, which is in line with the anarchists. Cheers!

I thought about the idea of a confederation of smaller tribes/families for a long time, but where I struggle is... Why wouldn't history just repeat itself? Eventually these smaller towns would start to become huge cities or even nations. What follows is that these local communities would eventually become powerful enough to overthrow others, and after a while we would be back to the state we are in in 2024

thanks a lot for all your work, these episodes on anarchism are very interesting, easy to digest and informative. wish i had known about some of these ideas before... bookchins social ecology for example.. anyways im kinda curious about how anarchism would try to solve problems that do not directly relate to either material ressources or democratic values. what about hierarchy based on education or similar abilities to navigate the world, especialy since a lot of these abilities are emphasized by society today. we cannot really start as blank slates in a anarchist community. people would still search for influences, role models, there would be a hierarchy of ideas. if there is ever a problem that asks for urgency, people would maybe gladly give up power to a "benevolent dictator". and who says that if problems persist that they would ever ask to take the power back?

@szegedyzs 10 ай бұрын

As I understand anarchism, it's not about rejecting all types of hierarchy but those unjustified. So hierarchy based on skills or knowledge is acceptable because it's justified. (fx. I am not going to argue with the electrician about how to connect the cables). Also this knowledge or skill is to be shared in an ideal world, so more people can be involved, without the need to depend on just one person.

@gitarrojoe 10 ай бұрын

@@szegedyzs makes sense, thats how i would understand it aswell. i guess what im more curious about is how these "justified hierarchies" wont build into unjustified ones

@szegedyzs 10 ай бұрын

@@gitarrojoe It's the hardest part, it requires constant work to dismantle informal hierarchies, by being aware and facilitating those less in power to step up, and those taking more space to step down.

The way this channel discusses essential topics is exceptionally interesting. I wish there would be a way to translate this into german language because I would like to give people who wrestle with these topics here in Austria which are not able to listen in English to learn from this excellent made podcast. With the help of AI it would be possible to easily produce versions in different languages. If you need someone to help making this translations I would love to help you out here.

@Yashabot69420 10 ай бұрын

Huge fan of the show. I know you've covered Arendt in the past, but I wonder if her conclusion in "On Revolution" could be relevant to this discussion. In it, Arendt argues that revolutions throughout history organize themselves organically into federated councils. She examines too the ways in which the founding fathers (Jefferson in particular) were highly aware of how, by creating a unique political enterprise designed to exist perpetually into the future, they therefore restricted future generations from politically mobilizing in the same way that they had. She concludes that the "Social question" (providing for the populace) has obscured the "Political question" (enabling individuals in a society to be politically active) and wonders about how a decentralized, federated, council-based system could allow for perpetual political development within a single polity.

Where, if so, do you list your knowledge sources for each episode? I haven’t yet listened to a full podcast episode, so forgive me in advance if you reference your sources verbally in the podcast.
