162. Divorcing Anarchism and Liberalism -- Alexandre Lefebvre

Alex comes back on the podcast and we try to separate liberalism and anarchism, with some success. We particularly focus on whether liberaldom - illiberal institutions that claim to be liberal - is the natural outcome of liberalism or a bastardization of it. Mostly we agree, probably because Alex and I both argue for a form of democratic socialism - so liberal socialism and anarchist socialism end up pretty close.

The business of basketball is our central example, so sorry if that part bores you to tears. Being bored by the business of basketball is more than reasonable.

I also reference this episode with Iain McKay frequently: https://www.everydayanarchism.com/episode-42-kropotkins-theory-of-revolution-with-iain-mckay/
