    Dreadful garbage. Voted only on by his friends

    Next time make sure you don't have your buddies all vote on the same 2 days with their 10 star ratings.

    All you have to do is go down the list and look at the dates of his 29 star ratings.

    Interesting

    Very interesting and philosophically thought provoking. Camera and sound work iffy at times but still very well done

    Not Anarchist, Right Wing Capitalist

    Most of the ones interviewed have zero to do with anarchism

    They are right wingers arguing they'd be wealthier without having to pay taxes

    Friedman is the lazy spouse of a billionaire

    Ron Paul is the nut who argues the government had no right to free slaves

    Know what they truly want.

    The Primer on Anarchism

    Interviews with James C. Scott, Michael Huemer, David Freidman, Tom Woods, Bob Murphy, Dave Smith, Scott Horton countless others.

    Historians, Economists, Anthropologists, Philosophers, Theorists, and a few comedians give the most invaluable background and primer on what the state really is and how a stateless society would be an obvious improvement over the archaic and regressive institutions of the state.

    A well thought out documentary.

    Lots of critiques of the state, solutions to problems, and history on what anarchism really is.
