Episode 251: Episode 251 - Newsies (1:16:55)

Actual Anarchy Podcast - AnCap Movie Reviews from a Rothbardian Perspective

We shift into more family-friendly fare with a review of “Newsies” with Abby Cleckner, who is a friend of frequent guest Dr. Dennis Foster and thus a listener of the show.

A musical based on the New York City newsboy strike of 1899. When young newspaper sellers are “exploited” beyond reason by their bosses they set out to form a union to violently fight for their “rights” as unlikely “heroes” when they team up to fight an unscrupulous newspaper tycoon.

We will have some choice headlines on this one.

Join us next week for the return of Jonathan Reed as we discuss a documentary film about wine called “Red Obsession” which he assures us will leave us with plenty to converse about.

Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective. We use movies as a starting point for people who may not be familiar with this way of thinking.

Discussion of the plot and decisions that characters make in relation to morality and violations of the non-aggression principle are our bread and butter.

We also will highlight and discuss any themes or lessons from Austrian Economics that we can glean from the film.

The point is to show what anarchy actually is with instances that are presented in film.

We publish at least once per week; and occasionally will do specials surrounding holidays or events (elections/olympics) and have guests.
