Chapters

Murray Bookchin views anarchism as a recurring human tendency towards liberty, equality, and solidarity, rather than a specific political label. He traces this tendency through history, from Native American resistance to colonialism to the American Revolution, emphasizing the universality of these values.

Shownotes Transcript

Today we talk about some of the work of Murray Bookchin. We talk about anarchism as a historical trend in human thought that keeps recurring. Then we talk about the superficiality of typical approaches to being environmentally conscious. We talk about Futurism and the hope of colonizing other planets. We talk about Artificial Intelligence and why people sometimes don't feel like celebrating its arrival.
