I don't have a telly, so this is the first I'm hearing about #TheAnarchistsHBO

“It Looks Like Hitler Was Pretty Good!”: Crypto Grifter At Center of HBO Series and “Anarchapulco” Praises Hitler, Denies Holocaust

Jeff Berwick, the 'anarcho'-capitalist intellectual guru, sex-pest, and grifter supreme at the center of HBO's new docu-series, The Anarchists, has been presented as a harmless ideologue promoting a "peaceful, voluntary" society. Yet anyone that takes longer than apparently every mainstream journalist who wrote essentially the same article about the series over the past two weeks,...

It's Going Down
Far-Right Libertarian conference "Anarchapulco" is gearing up for their next event in #Mexico, which will feature Holocaust deniers, anti-Semites, and COVID-19 conspiracy theorists as its main speakers. Lily Forester from #TheAnarchistsHBO is listed as one of the main organizers.
My thoughts after viewing the series finale of "The Anarchists" s01e06:
- I feel like, if you call yourself a former anarchist, you never really were. Anarchism is not a belief system, it's a logical and rational conclusion. People however, are too seldom logical or rational.
- "A state can exist if it'll leave me alone". Sadly, the state never actually leaves you alone. It's against its nature.
- It's interesting that the two broken hearted ladies seem at odds with the philosophies at the series end. Emotional human toll on full display.
- The two dead men, arguably the two most respected community leaders John and Nathan, appear to have lived their lives for their philosophies and principles. Attempting to change the world for the better, even if you fail, is still noble as fuck.

#TheAnarchistsHBO series is now over. The director has stated on Instagram it has nothing to do with actual anarchism. This series is going to leave many who watch it the impression that anarchists are crypto-bros who only care about getting rich with 'no rules' while sitting at a conference listening to white nationalists like Lauren Southern talk about "strengthening the borders." Total trash. What were your thoughts?
I know there's one episode left of #TheAnarchistsHBO, but I've been sitting on my take of this series for a while, and I have to mentally prepare myself for the Manti Te'o thing on Netflix that's coming out next week.

The Anarchists...I Guess?

HBO's latest docuseries less an ideological primer than it is a more-violent Bravo show

The World According to Bob
"While #TheAnarchistsHBO has proven to be a pathetic excuse for a documentary on anarchism and its theories and practical applications, it is shaping up to be a decent documentary on how flawed and invalid anarcho-capitalism is. Anarcho-capitalism is not an anarchist ideology but rabid individualism where those outside of Olympus must fend for themselves. The only freedom they fight for is the freedom to continue to build a surplus of capital..." https://www.thecinemaspot.com/2022/08/01/anarchapulco-begins-to-crumble-the-anarchists-episode-4-living-without-the-law-spoiler-review/

The Cinema Spot
Media from #CNN to #TheGuardian rushed to cover #TheAnarchistsHBO, centering Jeff Berwick as its ideological guru; white-washing far-Right Libertarians as "anarchists." Not one reported on Berwick's racist views, including Holocaust denial + praise of Hitler. https://itsgoingdown.org/it-looks-like-hitler-was-pretty-good-hbo/

After the anarchist news organization It’s Going Down critiqued HBO’s misuse of the term “anarchist” and called Berwick an anti-semitic grifter in a barrage of tweets, Berwick responded with a 30-minute YouTube rant in which he claimed his detractors were just “unhappy,” “poor,” and “jealous” of wealthy people and told them to “work on themselves.” #TheAnarchistsHBO https://www.vice.com/en/article/m7gvdp/real-anarchists-react-to-the-anarchists-a-new-series-about-crypto-bros
Real Anarchists React to ‘The Anarchists,’ A New Series About Crypto Bros

HBO’s new docuseries explores Anarchapulco, a not-so-utopian den of 'free market' capitalists. Anarchists say their goals couldn’t be more different.

Director of #TheAnarchistsHBO, who went from Ron Paul supporter to fan of 'Austrian economics,' appeared on Jeff Berwick's podcast in 2018. Says he "jumped on board" with Alt-Right troll Stefan Molyenux + got connected to people close to Berwick.
