Episode: Christian Anarchism at FreedomFest, with Cody Cook
Description: In this Freedom Fest 2025 presentation, The Anarchist Anabaptist author Cody Cook explores the historical and philosophical alignment between Christian principles and libertarian anarchism. Rooted in the early church's and 16th-century Anabaptism's rejection of state violence and coerced faith, the talk highlights shared values like voluntaryism, nonviolence, and decentralization. Despite tensions, such as differing views on self-defense and capitalism, these traditions mutually enrich each other. The speaker encourages studying Anabaptist communities as models of voluntary societies and promotes their books.Watch LCI's whole presentation on YouTube: https://youtu.be/4t4Lb61Cfzw?si=uXu1-xRSyWN6iA5f<...
