We are joined by special guest, Alex Hay, to sing our way through the 2012 musical version of Victor Hugo’s, “Les Miserables”.
The film takes place in France during the early 19th century and tells the story of Jean Valjean who, while being hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert after breaking parole, agrees to care for a factory worker’s daughter. The story reaches resolution against the background of the June Rebellion.
It’s a story of redemption for one character, and a relentless pursuit for another. There is love at first sight in the midst of a revolution that will never come.

Les Misérables
After 19 years as a prisoner, Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman) is freed by Javert (Russell Crowe), the officer in charge of the prison workforce. Valjean promptly breaks parole but later uses money from stolen silver to reinvent himself as a mayor and factory owner. Javert vows to bring Valjean back to prison. Eight years later, Valjean becomes the guardian of a child named Cosette after her mother’s (Anne Hathaway) death, but Javert’s relentless pursuit means that peace will be a long time coming.

On a much sadder note, we mentioned the two GoFundMe’s that we would like you to be aware of for our friends (and their families) who are going through a very difficult time.
The first is our listener Joe, who is a Patreon supporter and an all-around good guy who is fighting cancer. The good news is that it is treatable and he’s in otherwise great health. There are a number of related expenses that are not covered by his insurance, so if you would like to help support a fellow listener, this link will take you to his GoFundMe: http://www.actualanarchy.com/joe
The second GoFund Me is even sadder still. Our friend, and two-time guest on the show, passed away suddenly on February 3rd at the age of 41. He leaves a wife and son who are devastated by this very tragic event. There are funeral arrangements and other expenses that are mounting, so if you would like to help out here as well, please click this link to go to the GoFundMe: http://www.actualanarchy.com/lewis
Lewis Liberman was his stage-name for his efforts surrounding Libertopia Cartoons which you can find on this very site and also at: https://libertopiacartoon.wordpress.com/

Thank you for joining us on this episode of the Actual Anarchy Podcast!
The Actual Anarchy Podcast is all about Maximum Freedom.
Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective. If it’s voluntary, we’re cool with it. If it’s not, then it violated the Non-Aggression Principle and Property Rights – the core tenants of Libertarian Theory – and hence – human freedom.
We use movies as a starting point for people who may not be familiar with this way of thinking. Discussion of the plot and decisions that characters make in relation to morality and violations of the non-aggression principle are our bread and butter.
We also will highlight and discuss any themes or lessons from Austrian Economics that we can glean from the film.
The point is to show what anarchy actually is with instances that are presented in film.
We publish new episodes on Sunday just in time for your Monday commute; and occasionally will do specials surrounding holidays or events (elections/olympics).
For our show where we talk about movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective, we often watch them on our various devices via Netflix, Amazon Prime or on VUDU (which lets you redeem UV content as well). The VUDU one is nice because once it is in there, you know it will still be there a few months later:
ABOUT
Actual Anarchy, an anarchy unlike what the average idiot thinks it would be. Anarchy means no rulers, not no rules. The non-aggression principle and a respect of property rights are what makes it go.
We host a podcast where we take pop culture movies and showcase moments or scenes or themes throughout that are literally actual examples of anarchy.
Any place, around the world, there are always examples of Actual Anarchy all about you. Sometimes you just have to sit back and take a look. It’s easy once they’ve been pointed out a few times.
Actual Anarchy is real world examples of anarchy in action.
Movies, Shows, Books, News, etc… we host all sorts of content on the site from a bevy of writers enthusiastic for one goal: human freedom
