078 - Sebastian Weglarz: Libertarian Memes, Anarcho-capitalism and Polish History

Описание: Libertarianism, Communism, Anarcho-capitalism, Poland, Liberty International, Memes, Bitcoin, Skull of Satoshi, Freedom Culture.

Timothy Allen talks with Sebastian Weglarz.
This week's show is a bit of a trip into the past.  If truth be told, I had an audio problem with the episode I was going to air and then I lost access to all my upcoming shows (it's a long story that I won't go in to). Anyway, whilst rummaging around in my archive looking for back-ups, I discover an unpublished episode that I thought we had lost many months ago. It was recorded at Weekend Kapitalizmu in Warsaw just over a year ago (obviously… bear this in mind whilst we’re talking about current affairs etc) .
Sebastian Weglarz is a Polish anarcho-capitalist who certainly wears many hats in life. He’s the head of outreach at Liberty International, which I’m told is the oldest organisation promoting Liberty worldwide.  He’s also a marketeer, memer, rapper and general advocate for self sovereignty and the nomadic way of life.
In our (rather chaotic) conversation you can expect to hear our raspy, conference-damaged voices talk about, amongst other things: Polish history, Communism, Libertarianism, art, culture, Bitcoin, memes.
Enjoy the conversation.
