33 分钟Hello everyone.
I'm Stephen west.
This is philosophize this.
I always try to be really sparing with how much of your time I take up with these intros.
I just want to say, because I haven't said it in a while, thank you to everyone who listens, thanks to everyone that talks to friends about the show, anything that you do that makes this podcast something real, something more than just pixels on a screen.
You know, the demand for a show like this truly makes me feel sane.
And I really appreciate all you out there who enjoy it as much as you do.
Thank you.

Todays episode is part one in a series on anarchism.
I hope you love the show today.
So Im going to assume theres at least a certain percentage of people coming to this episode with an understanding of anarchism, that what an anarchist fundamentally believes is that we should overthrow the government tomorrow.
Oppositional defiance.
In other words, the firm belief that Im not going to participate in this unjust institution called the government anymore.
Im not washing the dishes tonight.
Nope.
As an anarchist, my evening's gonna be going down to the mall.
I'm gonna buy a spiky bracelet from hot topic, maybe steal a toaster, and then I'm gonna sit back and watch as society as we know it burns on down into ashes.
That's what a real anarchist does.
But I think every serious anarchist out there would say that that view is at best a delusional oversimplification of anarchism.
