An episode made partially as a response to The Anti-Capitalist Mentality show by “Voice of Freedom”, a capitalist propaganda show by Freedom Party International.

The topic of the episode is the necessity of the impossibility of enforcement of contracts in a free society.

“You either work or you starve” is not freedom, it's a threat.

This is a very brief look at the state of the anarchist movement today and where we can possibly be going in the future. For a few who will no doubt get affended that i have listed a direction they don't like, or didn't list the one they like: all i say here is only an observation and an opinion.

First in this podcast i run through the movements which are in the core of the larger anarchist movement. Second i go through some which were already brought in, but not yet completely integrated. And finally i go into the theoretical possibilities of where we might go and what we might learn from, i do not go into what those things might be as this is not the intention of this podcast to go into this level of detail, but i do discuss the interplay amongs those movements.

Песенка Бездомных

Я счастлив за то что живу, даже голодным,
Сердечко моё хочет биться в груди,
В любовь верю я, дающую годы
А порой только дни… а потом снова жди.

Случайные встречи друзей, что на дорогах,
Смех и печали люблю, что позади,
Всё-ж мне не хватает порой тепла и порога
И веры что лучшее всё ещё впереди.

Identity of Woman

Родившись женщиной, живу как кляча.
Родилась женщиной, ну вот ведь незадача.
Зачем живу? Зачем страдаю?
А я, меж прочим, тоже ведь мечтаю.
Мечтаю я прожить всю жизнь собою.
Вот только не получится… без бою.
Но кому надо с побоем своё я.
Будь я ментура иль судья,
      а я - никто, я - всё, я - я.
