What if we just ignored the government?
In this episode, I talk with activist and radio show host Lou Sander about agorism, counter-economics and underground economies.
Most activism directed at changing the political system involves utilizing the political system. Lou believes there is a better way — simply do an end-run around the state by ignoring it and creating alternate systems that undermine the government. During this interview, Lou and I talk about moving the so-called Overton Window and expanding the 3×5 index card of allowable opinion, why radical dissent will yield more freedom than obedient compliance, how grey markets help people survive in communist and socialist countries and practical steps we can take to incorporate agorism into our lives.
