Anarchast - The Revolution Will Be Televised

Those who have been reading The Dollar Vigilante, and more specifically our daily blog, for any length of time have probably figured out by now that I am an anarchist.

No, not a guy in a black hoodie who lights shops on fire and loots businesses - those aren't anarchists.  Those are usually communists/socialists or, more often the case, just disillusioned youth who are fed up with a system that has robbed and impoverished them since before they were even born.

Anarchists are, in fact, just people who believe in the free market without a violent, coercive ruler (government).

And as the world comes unglued, with daily riots in London now, the collapsing financial system and protests, riots and revolutions in dozens of disparate countries it is becoming clear that we are reaching the end of the road for this political and communist/fascist-style financial system (which many actually believe is a capitalist system) - and perhaps the end of democracy and the nation-state as we know it.

Thanks mostly to the internet (because governments and the state-controlled media try to make sure you never find out about this), people around the world are slowly awakening to what a corrupt, terrible and dying system we live in and are, on a daily basis, discovering anarchy/libertarianism/free-markets/voluntaryism as being the answer.

It is a revolution.  The world over.  It's just beginning.  And it will be televised - on Anarchast.

Keeping TDV Focused On The Financial Aspects of the Collapse

Here, at The Dollar Vigilante, our prime focus is on the financial aspects of this collapse and how best to protect yourself and survive through things like expatriation, getting your assets outside of the grasp of your own government and self-sufficiency.  A lot of these subjects relate directly to our adherence to Austrian economics which tends to lead into talk about libertarianism and anarchism.

However, as I'm sure you've noticed, I've often swung outside of the direct scope of TDV in our blog to discuss subjects related to anarchism.  The reason is simple, because I am very passionate about it and I just can't keep quiet about those issues.

But, this blog was never the right place to espouse all my political beliefs (or non-political beliefs - anarchists don't believe in politics).

So, that is why I have just launched a new video podcast called Anarchast.  From now on, TDV and the TDV blog will have the great majority of its focus on the markets, investments, expatriation and survival of the collapse of the US dollar reserve system from the Austrian economics perspective - as it should be.

Enter Anarchast

I'll take my thoughts and conversations on anarchy over to Anarchast.  So, if you enjoy my thoughts in the field of free-markets and freedom then you'll want to go to Anarchast.com and enter your email there on the front page to receive notifications whenever we have any new podcasts.

Other ways to receive Anarchast content and notifications also include subscribing to the Anarchast RSS feed, its YouTube channel or the iTunes Podcasts.  Or add it on Facebook here, or Twitter here.

Our first guest on the first episode was Gary Gibson, the Managing Editor of WhiskeyandGunpowder.com.  The YouTube videos of that are below.  He has some phenomenal insights into what anarchy is and on how to live freely in an unfree world.

As well, tomorrow we are interviewing Oliver Wescott of Anarcho-Capitalist.org who will be reporting in from London in the heart of the riots to give his perspective on what is going on.  And then, this weekend we have as a guest, Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio.  Other guests we are hoping to get on in the next few weeks also include Doug Casey, the father of the modern day anarchist movement, IMHO.

So, I hope to see you over at Anarchast.  As for TDV, don't worry, this doesn't mean any less of our usual content here... we've just hired some new staff who are doing everything they can and doing a great job to free up mine and Ed Bugos' time so we can continue to provide all our usual content here - and more - at TDV.

Great Idea Jeff. I love the message your guest had, reminds me of Ghandi saying "Be the CHANGE you want to see in the world". Defy the state in every way you can. Tremendous!!!

Anarchy---end of the nation-state is one thing but "end of democracy" is another. Please explain further.

Slowly I am coing to the conclusion Jeff that you are on to something. I can't think of a time since becoming 18 and being able to vote where I have felt that participating in the Political System has become a losing proposition. I see no candidates out there that truly share my Conservatisim and more importantly have any understanding how dire the situation is in this country.
If I even bother to vote this next election it may have to a write in vote and that just may be," None Of The Above", as a sort of protest.
It may be that a collpase and the opportunity to start over may have to happen.
I have started to call myself a Capitalistic Conservative Anarchist. How's that?
