4.21 The Parallel Society

Author: OurFoundations July 7, 2022 Duration: 53:45
How do we then live in an immoral and corrupt world, surrounded by systems with the same nature? You may seek to fight it or seek to reform it or simply build something better in parallel. This episode is about the final option. There are many examples of ideologies and historical applications that are covered such as agorism, the counter economy, the Second Realm, Vonu, Charter 77, the Parallel Polis, mutual aid groups, mutual assistance groups, the Amish and Mennonites, and the original Christian Church. These all come together to paint a viable picture of what the parallel society strategy looks like and what it can achieve.   3.8 Christian Agorism 3.9 Secular Agorism verses The Kingdom of God 3.10 Strategies for Liberty- Pete Quinones Interview, part 1 3.11 Machiavellian Local Politics vs Community Agorism- Pete Quinones Interview, part 2 3.12 Moral Strategies for Liberty 3.31 The Original Church’s views on Statism 4.8 Alternative Systems and Agorism     Our Foundations podcast:  - Website - http://www.ourfoundations.podbean.com/ - Email - ourfoundations@protonmail.com - SubscribeStar to support/ donate - https://www.subscribestar.com/ourfoundations - Patreon to support / donate - https://www.patreon.com/ourfoundations - Twitter - https://twitter.com/Foundationspc - Medium - https://medium.com/@OurFoundations - Bitcoin Address - 1AZFLCvmfXasChaaecgYMP3vtnUrnLJoY7 - Litecoin - LcXEqTS4ooNed1sxkbonuTrwM21ubWf2qi - Ethereum - 0x409D0F2766e208C1Ea97fF2429D38a3D9E3abd3a - Zcash - t1SZKfocBcghVMWVCsbSA9zAHr5fzsxi62H - Pivx - D7ziutb5gGNnJ5pXngwa3w9zJj2P1iNzUT - Bitcoin Cash - bitcoincash:qprk7ppzepzdnczvl6lffz8f5zcnjh0hyvwlgm983x - Nano - nano_16gh7igt8zb1cntbmq1hrnmnc9ea9qrj3zycscqywhak5dgtx1gwommekt7r  Resources: https://chattanoogavoluntarysociety.com/   - Music :  - Pied Piper by Shaolin Dub is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 License. - Jet Fueled Vixen Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License  - Hard Fragility by Bisou is licensed under a Attribution-NonCommercial License  - Gjallar by Alexander Nakarada | https://www.serpentsoundstudios.com Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Ever wonder why our world is structured the way it is? Our Foundations Podcast digs into the deep roots of the systems that shape our daily lives, moving beyond surface-level news to examine how we got here. Hosted by OurFoundations, each episode is a thoughtful exploration of the frameworks governing society-politics, economics, education-and their interconnected evolution. You’ll hear discussions grounded in historical context and philosophical inquiry, often challenging conventional narratives by introducing alternative perspectives on power, governance, and human organization. This isn't about quick takes or partisan debate; it's a careful analysis of the underlying blueprints. Tuning into this podcast feels like joining a detailed conversation that connects the dots between past ideas and present realities, offering a clearer lens through which to view potential futures. The content is designed for anyone curious about the 'why' behind the rules we live by, seeking a deeper understanding than what’s typically offered. Through a blend of narrative and critical analysis, the show builds a comprehensive picture of our societal architecture, one episode at a time.
