About this episode

⚠️ This was recorded for my daily UK Column show. Please support us so that we can remain independent.

Etienne de la Boétie², an American author and advocate for voluntarism known for his critical views on government structures, discusses the concept of voluntarism and critiques the legitimacy and necessity of government.

Etienne de la Boétie² obviously is not his real name. It's a hat-tip to the real Etienne de la Boétie, who lived centuries ago.

Etienne argues that government is a scam that perpetuates crony capitalism and monopolises power, causing societal harm.

He explores the role of media in shaping perceptions, the flaws of democracy, and the potential for a society without government.

After all, it's about being truly free.
