This week, we welcome our first-ever guest, Jim M., co-host of the “Ignore the Rant” podcast! We discuss the merits and disadvantages of activist movements versus incremental shifts when it comes to achieving socio-political change. Jim asks whether “the liberty movement” is (or should be) a long-term, “slow-moving movement; or something that needs a high-energy burst” to actuate cultural and policy goals.

Amanda criticizes libertarians’ and anarchists’ aversion to organized activism, and shares how to combine PR brief-writing strategies with revolutionary movements. Maurice points out the symbiotic yet tense relationship between political institutions and protest wings. Jim makes the case for subversive tactics, uses the word “Machiavellian” in a sentence, and triggers Amanda to Amanda-splain Machiavelli.
