Actual Anarchy Podcast - AnCap Movie Reviews from a Rothbardian Perspective
We take the President's Day holiday as an opportunity to examine America's favorite president as depicted by Daniel Day-Lewis in Steven Spielberg's Lincoln. Let's just say that a Rothbardian Anarcho-Capitalist perspective is not kind to old "honest" Abe. We have a special guest, Actual Anarchy contributor, Rex Gazer. Look for articles from him on the site soon; and once he launches his own, we will push it vigorously. From the film, we see our hero avoiding peace by delay; thus prolonging the war. Visiting the wounded (A saint!). They depict Lincoln as a deity. I like how they painted the guy who called out Lincoln for jailing journalists, suspending habeus corpus and acting like a dictator as a smug, virulent racist. Thus, his arguments are automatically invalid. Later in the movie, Lincoln slapped his son. That's assault brother. Here are a few articles to review: http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=70018 https://www.gilderlehrman.org/history-by-era/american-civil-war/resources/proclamation-suspension-habeas-corpus-1862 Thank you for listening.
