Ep. 168: Why Mamdani is neither a Communist nor a Jihadist

Libertarian Alliance — Thu, 20 Nov 2025 15:20:37 +0000

The Mindcrime Liberty Show makes the case for why Libertarians, Paleoconservatives, and other reactionaries shouldn’t be overly concerned about Mamdani’s recent victory in the New York City mayor’s race. First, Mamdani is likely neither a radical socialist nor a radical jihadist. But even if he were, what power does he truly have? Culturally, Mamdani […]

Ep. 167: Time, Clock changes, and Industrialization

Libertarian Alliance — Wed, 05 Nov 2025 14:32:47 +0000

The Mindcrime Liberty show discusses time and its relationship to the industrialized managerial state. Did “time,” as we now measure it, even exist before industrialization and the rise of clocks? Are seasonal clock changes a good idea? Are centralized time zones beneficial? What exactly is “natural time,” considering that historical societies have had varied numbers […]

Ep 165: Is Disney more real than Paris?

Libertarian Alliance — Wed, 30 Jul 2025 09:14:25 +0000

The Mindcrime Liberty Show explores whether Disney is more “real” than the places it has replicated—Paris, London, and Japan. From an anthropological perspective, people worldwide, including Americans, treat Disney parks as pilgrimage sites (or what we commonly call “vacations”). When travelers visit Europe, they often flock to relics of the past—historic but static landmarks. Disney, […]

Ep 164: The Right-Wing Case for Abolishing the Police

Libertarian Alliance — Fri, 11 Jul 2025 15:46:22 +0000

Right-wingers typically have a pessimistic view of human nature, so why support a legally privileged class of people? Are the police today just another gang? Are militias and private security contractors a better option? Is self-defence the ultimate guarantee of protection?

Ep.144: Are non-profits profitable for society?

Libertarian Alliance — Mon, 15 Jan 2024 12:00:30 +0000

How does one judge an organization which doesn’t have profits and losses? Are some non-profits merely front organizations for billionaires to further enrich themselves and create good PR for them? Are some non-profits merely rackets to gain further donations to keep the organization alive? Are non-profits merely holding centers for people who can’t find a […]

Mindcrime Liberty Show – Ep. 99: Is the death penalty more humane than life imprisonment?

Libertarian Alliance — Wed, 29 Jun 2022 16:26:45 +0000

Most societies won’t go full Anabaptist and so will punish criminals for justice or deterrence. Lifetime incarceration, especially if it’s done humanely, is expensive (which typically requires taxing the innocent) and doesn’t really function as a punishment. On flip side, some prisons are deeply unpleasant: prisoners are locked in solitary confinement without human interaction, sunlight […]

Though ultimately about the future, this will also be a speech that dwells on the past. The first past event that I wish to discuss is what happened in June 2017. When I stood down as Director of the Libertarian Alliance, I was asked if I had taken leave of my senses. I was not visibly broken down by age and ill health. I had evidently not run out of things to say. Why, then, was I steeping aside in favour of a young man who was nearly forty years my junior?...

The political philosophy of Niccolò Machiavelli does not appear to be a pressing problem. Yet, it is with a sense of urgency that I speak to you today. The reinterpretation, and actually, the misinterpretation of this sixteenth-century writer has reached such a level of absurdity in the academia and it starts to be so widespread in popular culture that it’s now influencing even conservative and libertarian circles...

We are, I believe, at a turning point in history. I see a glimmer, the tiniest wee glimmer, of the ‘End of Socialism’. So what is socialism? At its core, it’s a religion of theft. And its God is ‘The State’. So what’s ‘The State’? Well, the state is a murderous organised criminal gang, aided and abetted by its intellectual bodyguards who get their cut by masking this criminality...

Back in the U.S.S.R., with Yuri Maltsev

The Trump Phenomenon, with Jeff Deist

Libertarian Alliance — Tue, 23 Jan 2018 11:00:50 +0000

Tonight, on episode six, we spoke with Jeff Deist, the President of the Mises Institute, in Auburn, Alabama, about that phenomenon of our age, President Donald Trump. We covered his intricate use of Forbes magazine, his tax cuts, his 'record year' on the stock market, his appeal to libertarians, the xenophobia he causes amongst American socialists, along with much, much more, including secession, his political Teflon abilities, and whether he will run again in 2020.

What did the Romans or the Greeks ever do for us? With Sean Gabb.

Libertarian Alliance — Thu, 18 Jan 2018 11:28:10 +0000

On our epic fifth podcast, Andy Duncan speaks with Sean Gabb, a Vice-Chairman of Mises UK, about a variant of that famous question from Monty Python's 'Life of Brian', what did the Romans, or the Greeks, ever do for us, in terms of modern western civilisation? We be cover the major Greek philosophers, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and Epicurus, along with different Roman Emperors, including Nero, Caligula, and Constantine. Along the way, we explore the technological difference between us and the ancients, what we have to learn from the Byzantine Empire's resistance to the Moslem invasion from the East, plus the best and the worst of the Roman Empire's Emperors. As a special bonus, at the end of the program we also discover what the author Richard Blake might be doing in terms of his novel series on the Byzantine Empire.

On the fourth episode of the MisesUK.Org Podcast, Andy Duncan discusses with Stephan Kinsella the concept, theory, and practice of Bitcoin ownership, amongst other topics, which include the use of Bitcoin as money, the comparison between gold and Bitcoin, and the possible collapse of states everywhere due to the current monetary revolution which states may have been too slow to respond to, for the sake of their own existence.

In our third MisesUK.Org podcast, Andy Duncan talks to Roman Skaskiw about Bitcoin. So, what is Bitcoin? Is it in a bubble, like Tulipmania? How can a Bitcoin have no 'intrinsic' value? What does 'intrinsic value' mean in a subjective world? Will the nascent world government ban Bitcoin to make it worthless? Can it actually ban Bitcoin even if it wanted to? Did the NSA invent Bitcoin? We explore all of these issues in this edition.
