Episode 1 - Introduction - The Voluntaryism Conference 2024

Etienne de la Boetie2, author of Government: The Biggest Scam in History Exposed, delves into the provocative ideas that challenge conventional views on governance. Etienne argues that government, far from being a legitimate or moral institution, serves as a mechanism for control and exploitation driven by intergenerational organized crime using “government” as a technique to rob and control populations. He introduces voluntaryism, a philosophy advocating for a society free of coercion, where interactions are voluntary, and markets fulfill the roles traditionally held by the government. Etienne discusses concepts like the non-aggression principle, the power of free markets, and the manipulation of public perception through media. This episode sets the stage for a thought-provoking journey into a society without rulers, where peace and prosperity arise from individual freedom and spontaneous order.
