My friend Prof. Raymond Craib stops by to discuss Anarcho-Capitalism, Libertarianism and Imperialism. We discuss the differences between the political movements of the past compared to what they have become today. We also chat about Chile and their rocky past of American imperialist interventions and their fate as a socialist haven in South America. We also discuss the bizarre new idea of the Dark Enlightenment and the acceleration of capitalism. This is a fantastic conversation with a brilliant human being!
