Complete Liberty Podcast promotes total respect for self-ownership, property rights, and personal choice—amidst the authoritarian/obedience-oriented political and psychological memes in American culture (and elsewhere). Basically, governments and all they entail are the problem, not the solution. Voluntarism (or market anarchism, or anarcho-capitalism) and customary law principles, in accordance with reason and dignity, spell the solution.

The easiest way to podcatch is to load all the past episodes into iTunes:
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=254220370

Alternatively, you can use the libsy rss feed for all past episodes:
http://completeliberty.libsyn.com/rss

However, the comments on the Libsyn page have been deactivated, so it's best to use the Complete Liberty Podcast category feed here if you want to throw in your two cents :)
feed://completeliberty.com/xml/magazine/category/91697.xml

Also, the first ten episodes of Complete Liberty Podcast are actually the audiobook (shows 11 and higher are the podcast episodes). So, if you'd like to read the book first and/or you're new to the concepts of a voluntary society, here's the page to begin listening: http://completeliberty.com/audiobook.html

(The pdf and html files can be found in the "CL Book" links in the site's menu above.)

By Wes Bertrand

Since when did obedience become the epitome of good parenting? by Annalisa Barbieri

Is the common aim of parenting to raise compliant children?
"The need for autonomy doesn't vanish because kids have been cowed into doing what they're told." A.Kohn

Though we don't have justice today, when our desires for freedom are perceived as demands by those in government, achieving justice becomes less likely. Speaking compassionately will help us start getting everyone's needs met.

Liberation

By frances walker
It was my dad who gave me the idea to stop giving a damn about who sits where and who should be ousted and why we can never get enough of Iraq. I remember asking him when I was twelve why he isn't voting like mother or everyone else and he told me, "because I don't want to be fooled any longer." I wasn't sure what it meant at the time, but when I turned into the age where I get to vote, I remembered the conversation.

I voted three times since my first and later got involved in a student organization of "freethinkers," which led me to doubt everything in the world, that there's no absolute truth, etcetera. And being a Sociology student in college, I often wrote political essays and engaged in debates in school, which further developed my cynical disposition on many many things. I thought of myself as liberated, but even that, I doubted because despite the way I think and act, I can never free myself from my other responsibilities. I'm talking about doing my part as a citizen despite the absence of a political stand.
