We shift into more family-friendly fare with a review of “Newsies” with Abby Cleckner, who is a friend of frequent guest Dr. Dennis Foster and thus a listener of the show.
A musical based on the New York City newsboy strike of 1899. When young newspaper sellers are “exploited” beyond reason by their bosses they set out to form a union to violently fight for their “rights” as unlikely “heroes” when they team up to fight an unscrupulous newspaper tycoon.
We will have some choice headlines on this one.
We’re also proud to announce that our YouTube video for this episode now features actual video footage of the show, check it out here, and be sure to hit that subscribe button!

Google Description for the film
Newsies
In this musical, homeless New York City newsboy Jack “Cowboy” Kelly (Christian Bale) befriends two newcomers to his trade, brothers David (David Moscow) and Les Jacobs (Luke Edwards). When publisher Joseph Pulitzer (Robert Duvall) sets new rules that make it harder for the young newspaper salesmen to make a buck, the boys go on strike. Bryan Denton (Bill Pullman), a journalist who’s sympathetic to their plight, gives them some tips in public relations, as the newsboys’ battle grips the city.

Abby Cleckner is a contributor and occasional guest-host of the Bad Roman Project, which explores the relationship between Christians and the State. She has been a listener of our show for years and happened to hear one of her professors on as a guest (the great, Dr. Dennis Foster) as a happy coincidence.

Trusted News Consortium
What is the Trusted News Initiative❓
The BBC, Reuters, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, Facebook, Google, YouTube, Twitter, and Microsoft announced on December 10, 2020 that they would form a monopoly on information to control the conversation on COVID-19.
Which discussions have they censored❓
Suppression #1: The Source of SARS-2
Suppression #2: Denial of Early Treatments for Covid
Suppression #3: The Voices of Dissenting Health Professionals
Suppression #4: The Record Number of Serious Post-Vaccine Side Effects and Deaths
Suppression #5: Natural Immunity Stronger than Vaccinated Immunity
Suppression #6: Worrying Evidence of Pathogenic Priming/ADE
Suppression #7: The Central Role of Co-Morbidities in Serious Covid Disease
This is why Nobel Prize-winning scientists, Professors from Harvard, Stanford, and Oxford, and medical doctors safely & successfully treating millions of patients around the world are being censored.
This is why 50,000 scientists and medical professionals can sign a declaration to replace lockdowns with focused protection of the elderly, but we only get to hear the voice of, Dr. Anthony Fauci, big pharma’s greatest carnival barker.

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
