The Shift Episode 88: Anti-Politics with Sal Mayweather

In this episode of The Shift host, Doug McKenty discusses the idea of Agorism with Sal Mayweather, author of Anti-Politics and host of "The Agora" podcast. Agorism is the idea that the best way to dissolve authoritarian systems of government is simply to ignore them. By creating a "counter economy" separate from centralized means of production and unregulated by the state, these activists seek to bring down systems of oppression by simply circumventing them. In their view, political action only enables the very systems they are seeking to transmute through non-violent, civil disobedience.
