  • Michael Malice is an author, political commentator & podcaster.
    No matter your perspective, politics isn't working very well at the moment. The world is divided along more lines than we can count and the powers that be don't seem to have the electorate's best interests at heart. Is the solution just to tear it all down?
    Expect to learn why Michael refuses to vote, what the hardest question for anarchy to answer is, why a democracy doesn't give you choice, why I've been forgetting words recently, what we're going to do about our cancelled Russia trip and much more...

      Love Michael!!! His speeches on N Korea are v v much needed, we have left those people to their fate (despite meddling in the rest of the world for supposed humanitarian reasons), I hope he is right that it can improve for them. Ive never trusted any politician... its... politics, all of it. Hadnt considered Anarchy before but he puts forward really good points and given me plenty of interesting thinking topics. Much love to you both, keep on keeping on

    I bought this book because I would like my preconceived notions of the state to be challenged, I have just assumed the utility of the state is necessary and I also hold a “healthy” maybe nostalgic sense of national pride, whilst of course recognising the bad outcomes that have manifested today and throughout history in their varying degrees. What I really appreciate about Michael is that whilst he has strong disagreements with the unchallengeable idea of a state being necessary, he is principled enough to not jump on any bandwagon which may appear to align with his goals of dismantling the system. I’m essentially referring to bad faith actors/activists attempting to dismantle the current system in order to be a part of a system where they may wield more arbitrary power than they currently hold. You can just sense the authenticity of his perspective, and the lack of an agenda it carries when compared with other anti-establishment groups or individuals, this makes me much more open to his challenges of “what I hold dear” as it doesn’t demonise well meaning individuals and doesn’t divide people into groups or accuse those that don’t align absolutely with the promoted narrative of “wrongthink”.
    Alway appreciate your thoughtful work and discussions Chris, I wish you continued success.

    I really like Michael Malice and agree with much of what he posits. The thing that holds Anarchism in permanent abeyance is its reliance on the intrinsic "goodness" of human nature, the expectation that everyone will play along. This must necessarily include all citizens of this planet. Given the fallibility of humans, the need for a structure of some kind (security, legal, protection of the most vulnerable citizens, etc ad infinitum, with some kind of requisite "authority") is necessary, if this structure does not comprise the state, what does it comprise? A state by any other name.

    The reason so many of us are attracted to glass-door experiences is the same reason that attracts us to long-form contents: Honesty and transparency.

    Interesting to hear you speak about loosing your cognitive faculties, I just went through something similar but it's root cause was my emotional equilibrium. 6 months ago I had what felt like a heart attack at work and the company fired me, then I lost my housing and kept having severe dizzy spells, I wasn't able to stand let alone walk. I went to the hospital again and fixed the dizziness issue but now I'm out of work, in a brand new city where I know no one except my wife, burning through my savings living in an Air BNB, being denied on every apartment application because even with a very wealthy Co signer attached to the application my wife doesn't make enough money. So as this is all happening I start developing severe anxiety and panic attacks where I shake like crazy and my heart rate is through the roof and with each successive failed job interview it's getting steadily worse and worse. Finally it clicked that this was severe anxiety and I started taking Gaba from the health food store and that dampened the panic enough to the point where I could get through a couple interviews and get a job but I was incredulous at the fact that am entire lifetime of self control and mental discipline could evaporate in a matter of weeks.

    I always thoroughly enjoy listening to libertarians and anarchist types because they like to talk and explain things. And I like to talk and listen. They are very open to discussion. So a very enjoyable video. I always make it a point to visit different political groups to map what basic principles and values construct their ideas.
    That said, I fundamentally disagree with their conclusions, and that comes from a few key pillars of which I think guide the world.
    At least to my pillars that counteract against those who highly value freedom, it would then be my understanding that oligopolies are thy natural form of human governance and they will spring up, no matter the government type. Followed by governments propagation of conquest theory, in that fighting happens incessantly until a monopoly of violence is established and maintained over a geographical area.
    There are different ways to structure oligopolies so they inflict the least amount of damage. The elites have to be tied to the geography of the people they rule, they have to be fearful of bad choices (economically/physically), and are govern / lead by civil society (families/producers). I think modern democracies have deluded themselves into thinking non oligopolies are possible and this in turn leads to worse government, whereas if we accept oligopolies are inevitable, then you can design limitations around the worst traits, to make the world more bearable.

    It's basically as it's described, some random thought that could be considered horrible pops up in your head. Now to have awkward thoughts pop up also happens to regular people as I find out, but usually they dismiss it/laugh about it without second thought.
    But people with Pure-O (although I read in some articles it might not be recognized in DSM-5 or something) will obsess too much about it, I don't know why. To the point they think about it for hours or days, and that stress will retriggered it, as a feedback loop and magnify the signal. I have been there too, so I know.

    Malice is the greatest anarcho philosopher of our time. Wonderfully hilarious while being irreverent and serious. I’m halfway through this book and if you’re an anarchist or anarcho-curious, then you should own it and read it as well. Rothbard and Mises brought me to anarchism, Eric July, Dave Smith, and Michael Malice have helped to further my understanding and strengthened my resolve and ability to articulate my ideas. It’s time to abolish the state and, much like Rothbard, I will consider myself an enemy of the state.

    Side note: 28:25. It's funny that he says "beating the corporations at their own game" while publishing it with one of the largest companies in the world has ever seen using contemporary technology that they are pushing. I get the message that it's not going through a big publishing house. Still, it was worded funny.

      Not sure that hating corporations is the right way to go about it, corporations manifest in many different ways. Their existence is predicated on making as much money as is possible, and will only be held back by internal operators or external forces. I don't think there is necessary anything good or evil about them, but if left unchecked can do plenty of harm.

Horses are social animals but in the wild it's even more important for them to be social... because out side of the pack they become vulnerable.... Thus in the wild if one of the horses decides to be unruly and go against the pack they are cast out and are left on there own... which usually means they want survive because they become prey... i can see this same system in an Anarchy...What say you Michael ??

    Speaking for myself, but this is one of the reasons I love watching Car Trek and all the YT channels surrounding the trio who who star in Car Trek. Freddie, Hoovie, Ed, Jared, the Wizard, the Ninja, and the dozens of other people all of whom help each other create some of the most friendly car content on YT. Similarly, I watch you two, Dave, the failed Tom and Bob. and a lot of others in your sphere - just as much for the friendships as much as the content.
