Description

Anarchism! What's it all about?

More specifically: what even is it? What do anarchists want? How do they think? Is anarchism just chaos? How do rules get enforced? How does the economy work? Are anarchists terrorists? Are they Marxists? Communists? Has anarchism ever happened?

We'll be answering all these questions, and we'll be doing it properly. This colossal episode sweeps away all the emotion, the confusion, the bullshit and the bias, and presents you- as always- with only the genuine truth. Welcome to Polymath!

And we're not just listing definitions: this episode is a massive tour de force of real, unbiased political science, political philosophy, sociology, economics, history, and psychology. We combine all these different approaches; we integrate insights about communism, socialism, and capitalism; we unite all the different factual, expert consensuses we need- for me to give you the most accurate, comprehensive understanding that I can.

This is the sixth and biggest episode of my channel's 'Objective Guide to Political Ideologies' series. But don't worry, you don't need to listen to any previous episodes to understand this one. All Polymath episodes are designed to make complete sense individually and with no background knowledge. Enjoy!
