|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2/3/26 |  Noam Chomsky: The Last Anarchist Professor | The fascinating linguist and research-heavy political commentator who helped get anarchist theory through a particularly fallow period. | 33m 04s | ||||||
| 1/15/26 |  The Decline of Anarchism in the 20th Century | In the 20th century, anarchism ceased as a mass revolutionary movement (except perhaps in Spain in the 1930s). Why? I give three reasons here: the internal momentum of the state, reaching its culmination as a war and genocide machine; the internal direction of the left, particularly around Bolshevism, toward extreme statism (from welfare state liberalism to socialist state control of the economy to state communism); and the terrible strategic and ethical mistake that anarchists made around 19... | 23m 06s | ||||||
| 1/6/26 |  Leo Tolstoy (and William Lloyd Garrison): Anarchism, Pacifism, and Christianity | Can you be a religious anarchist? Bakunin probobly thought not; Emma Goldman thought so. But any way you look at it, Tolstoy was a beautiful writer with a beautiful Christian vision. I agree with him, and Petr Chelčický, and William Lloyd Garrison, that Christianity is incompatible with human government. PS pacifism entails antistatism | 26m 12s | ||||||
| 1/3/26 |  Art of Anarchism: Emma Goldman | The brilliant speaker and inspiring visionary (1869-1940): from Haymarket to the McKinley assassination, from confronting Lenin in his office to the Spanish Civil War. Alexander Berkman. Nestor Makhno. | 32m 36s | ||||||
| 12/28/25 |  Anarchism Without Adjectives (But With Great Passion): Voltairine de Cleyre | The great American feminist and anarchist emerged from the American individualist tradition into the communist anarchist movement of Johann Most and Emma Goldman. Voltairine de Cleyre was also the greatest anarchist prose stylist this side of Thoreau. | 26m 30s | ||||||
| 12/17/25 |  Peter Kropotkin, Greatest of the Anarchist Thinkers | Kropotkin (1842-1921) was a fine scientist as well as revolutionary: perhaps the greatest anarchist intellectual. | 32m 10s | ||||||
| 12/9/25 |  Mikhail Bakunin: Anti-Authoritarian and Anti-Marxist Leftist | The split between Bakunin and Marx, between "authoritarian communism" and "collectivist socialism" (in Bakunin's terms) represents the key moment in the history, and the tragedy, of the left. | 30m 17s | ||||||
| 11/25/25 |  Max Stirner and Egoist Anarchism | A wild and bizarre genius whose one book garnered momentary attention, especially from Marx and Engels. He's very closely connected to Kierkegaard and Nietzsche, in my view. I quote a blog entry from Alexander Green: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/alexander-green-stirner-and-marx | 29m 18s | ||||||
| 11/20/25 |  Lysander Spooner Kicks Your Ass | From basic American or Lockean or classical liberal values, Spooner (1808-1887) proves that anarchism follows. Proves it, I say. The killerest of the American individualists. If we have equal unalienable rights, anarchism follows immediately and obviously. lysanderspooner.org | 30m 07s | ||||||
| 11/13/25 |  Henry David Thoreau: State and Slavery | Our best writer, maybe. The assertion that he's an (individualist) anarchist is based on "Civil Disibedience," but Thoreay expresses these positions throughout his authorship. | 29m 19s | ||||||

| 11/6/25 |  Proudhon: from Rousseau to Marx | The first person to call himself an 'anarchist' (that we know of), and a central transitional figure between Rousseau and Marx. His 'mutualism' might still be a decent way between individualism and collectivism. | 29m 45s | ||||||
| 10/31/25 |  Warren 2: The Concept of Self-Sovereignty | supplement to the Warren episode. Abolitionism as the source of American anarchism. John Stuart Mill. | 8m 10s | ||||||
| 10/31/25 |  Josiah Warren: the Practical Anarchist | The continuity with Godwin is provided by Robert Owen and the astonishing Frances (Fanny) Wright. Warren (1798-1874) was the founder of American individualist anarchism, but...let's talk about the meaning of individualism and collectivism. | 34m 59s | ||||||
| 10/27/25 |  Anarchism and Human Nature | A supplement to the Godwin episode. I argue that anarchists need not have a naively positive view of human nature. Not at all, though Godwin and Emma Goldman did, and though for example absolutist Thomas Hobbes had a very negative one. But anarchism follows from Hobbes's view too, believe it or not. Or if Hobbes is right about human nature, anarchism is just as or more valid than if we're all benevolent Godwinians. | 13m 40s | ||||||
| 10/26/25 |  The Enlightened Anarchism and Feminism of William Godwin | The first great "philosophical" or non-religious anarchist in the West, author of the novel Caleb Williams or Things as They Are, and the still underrated classic An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice. Thomas Paine and Mary Wollstonecraft (whom he married and with whom he had a daughter [Mary Shelley]) are major influences. | 29m 11s | ||||||
| 10/9/25 |  Anarchism and the Radical Reformation | Gerrard Winstanley and Levellers, but a whole long history including Thomas Müntzer and the German Peasants' Rebellion. Anabaptists, Diggers, Ranters, Quakers and the origin of modern egalitarianism and anti-authoritarianism. | 31m 30s | ||||||
| 10/3/25 |  Anarchism of the Spirit: Laozi (Lao Tzu) | And also Zhuangzi (Chuang Tzu). Ancient Daoism is a beautiful and profound underpinning for ant-statist political philosophy. | 27m 06s | ||||||
| 9/29/25 |  The Parrhesia of Diogenes the Cynic | the most wonderful anti-authoritarian philosopher in western history the book i mention is 'fearless speech' by michel foucault | 21m 10s | ||||||
| 9/26/25 |  Why I'm an Anarchist | (and what we'll be talking about in future episodes) | 24m 16s | ||||||
