Hey comrade. Just stumbled across this video, and it echoes a great deal of my latest vids discussing Youtube as a populist means of communication. I dig your channel. Keep it up.
Agree 100 percent. Im planning to reach out to the Anarchist forums when I get a chance. Libertarians in general have found a home on YT and Ancaps have been smart to recruit from the Ron Paul and government conspiracy groups.
I can't remember if I've said this before but I like to see AnCaps as "half way there"
We should do our best to show why we wish to extend liberty to the extent at wish we do and how we propose to make that happen. If we do that then our numbers will rise.
More than just that, we need to figure out ways of working with AnCaps to reach our common goals
I completely agree. I've recently been thinking of the same thing. I know there are anarchists out there, yet the capitalist libertarians and anarchocapitalists tend to dominate the whole libertarian spectra of politics on Youtube. The reasons are probably many. Anarchism is much more common than anarchocapitalism in Europe but its divided by many languages. Thats probably one reason. But im hoping we can change that indeed. (Anarchism on YT, not the languages, lol)
Another reason, I suspect, is that a lot of folks on the right are not happy with the state of the nation or Obama and are looking for are avenues to support their frustration.
Secondly, Anarcho Capitalism is easier to latch on to considering, capitalism is already established. So, if they hate the government, but like capitalism, then the transition is just easier. That's not to say that they have an understanding of it. It just means that it is easier than doing away with both
State and Capitalism. The good news for us is that they are closer to anarchism than ever before, if only by being anti-statist.
If we look at the bigger picture, then it's not hard to imagine them raising there kids as anti statists. The leap for them will be all the more easier. So, while it sucks, it also has its benefits.
Nice first vid dude. I subbed. I'm not making vids yet but I certainly plan to. Booboo knows when I'll be able to get around to that though. You're point about negative responses to critics of anarchism is well made but I myself have got to the point that I really can't abide blind stupidity any more. I'm talking about the asshats who fail to realise that established anarchists have spent years considering the many aspects of anarchisms and come at you with "Anarchy fail lulz ... loser". (cont)
Those people deserve nothing less than ridicule imo. Of course if someone comes and is willing to put aside their received "wisdom" for a moment and simply and decently just ask an honest question then they deserve at least a semi-civilised response(hehe). Anyway, good luck with the channel and future vids man. I'm keen to see what you got! =)
About the asshats you speak of, some of them will never be reached on any level. In all candor, I have little patience with some of the folks and have lashed out myself. In any case, those who are open to civil debate and maintaining an open line of dialogue should be treated with respect, if only to keep a good light on anarchism., but mostly because their human. Thanks again. I actually am about to post two videos.
