that anarchism is inherently not, can not be, a political movement, but it is simply “an idea about politics”

That’s good. I’ve kind of thought along that way myself. That anarchism or libertarianism (or indeed communism) are useful as thought experiment. Rather than battering the world into conformity with these templates.

Great examination. I particularly like Yockey’s analysis that anarchism is inherently not, can not be, a political movement, but it is simply “an idea about politics,” using both a theoretical and an empirical historical understanding to make the case. I believe he hit it on the nose.

Huge problem with one part of his analysis spoken of in this segment, however: The desire for a “balance of power” is predicated upon the assumption that there is much evil in the core of humanity. If people were “basically good,” a large group of people wielding immense power would never be a problem. The very few assholes within that power structure would quickly be purged and the benevolent rule would continue. The entire reason for an attempt to install structural limitations on power, rather than assuming that the goodness of man will fix the problem, is a fundamental distrust of man and men.

This is an interesting series of programs. I would like to offer one piece of constructive criticism. Perhaps you could put the same amount of information into a one or two hour show and break things down more (I hate to say dumb it down). The amount of content you put into a short program is a bit overwhelming.

Seems to me Rusty should start blogging again, or at least allow us to view his old blog – as I requested just before he closed its doors.
