This perhaps requires some explanation. Originally, the idea was to talk about the Libertarian Alliance split which we do briefly talk about in the podcast. However, it rapidly became apparent that this was not going to be the main thrust of what we were going to talk about; rather we were going to talk about what the “other” side did, meaning what they achieved, which was quite a lot as it happens.
In doing so, we cover Orwell, Mises, Marx, atheism and why people are not as closed minded as we often think.
We also meander but you, the regular listener, wouldn’t expect anything else. Such meanderings include: Chris Tame’s Randianism; Murray Rothbard; the economic calculation debate; the Anti-Soviet Society and woke politics.
Brian quotes
“I would far rather be understood and disagreed with than agreed with because misunderstood.”
“Your expectations of the future feed into what you think is going to happen now.”
“In other words [the socialists] kept the enterprise going and changed the excuses for it.“
“There is a point when lies go up to another level.”
“The whole point of wokery is that it is bollocks.”
“A lot of arm-twisting goes on in the socialist world.”
