Episode 194 - Full Metal Jacket (1:19:39)

Actual Anarchy Podcast - AnCap Movie Reviews from a Rothbardian Perspective

What is this Mickey Mouse shit?! We are getting with the program and recording on the duality of man. You know, Jungian shit. We talk about a movie with interesting and stimulating people of an ancient culture...and love you long time tonight. We wanted to be the first show on our block with an analysis of Kubrick’s “Full Metal Jacket”.
We bring back Jon Reed who’s been on many times before. He’s got a major malfunction and is a bit of a film scholar and maker, and is an appreciator of fine works such as this one.
Stanley Kubrick's take on the Vietnam War follows smart-aleck Private Davis (Matthew Modine), quickly christened "Joker" by his foul-mouthed drill sergeant (R. Lee Ermey), and pudgy Private Lawrence (Vincent D'Onofrio), nicknamed "Gomer Pyle," as they endure the rigors of basic training. Though Pyle takes a frightening detour, Joker graduates to the Marine Corps and is sent to Vietnam as a journalist, covering -- and eventually participating in -- the bloody Battle of Hué.
Check in with us next week as we hit up some “Conspiracy” with our friend, Dr. Dennis Foster.

Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective. We use movies as a starting point for people who may not be familiar with this way of thinking.
Discussion of the plot and decisions that characters make in relation to morality and violations of the non-aggression principle are our bread and butter.
We also will highlight and discuss any themes or lessons from Austrian Economics that we can glean from the film.
The point is to show what anarchy actually is with instances that are presented in film.
We publish at least once per week; and occasionally will do specials surrounding holidays or events (elections/olympics) and have guests.
