Episode 8 Intro to libertarianism

Today's episode is about getting a different perspective on the way us humans organize society. What other options are available and are these current structures the best idea. We're going to explore these ideas by explaining the difference between Libertarians and libertarians. What is the non-aggression principle or NAP? Where does this concept of property rights come from? Is it useful still? We'll cover the classic essay by Murray Rothbard called "Anatomy of the State". We'll allow it to guide a conversation about the state, what it is and what it is not. How is it that they came to be and what is the real purpose of propaganda. Is it possible to create a government that stays strictly limited? What is the role of the intellectuals in this phenomenon?
