    This is going somewhere dark...

    So many reviewers seem to think we're supposed to admire the subjects of this documentary. Their hubris, naïveté and bag of rocks dumbness combined with the truly dangerous nature of Acapulco for people who don't even speak the language let alone have street smarts tells me that we will eventually see what happens when the idealism of rich people mistaking privilege and hedonism for freedom meets a truly lawless system.

    It's a slow build but I am confident it's going somewhere.

    Entertaining to say the least

    First, because it is most important, I will note that nobody in this documentary besides the anti fascists protesting in the streets shown briefly are actual anarchists. Nothing about capitalism is anarchist at all.

    I enjoy this documentary because their ideology is hilarious and falls apart easily, even as seen in the documentary. The documentary is good for laughing at dumb people who believe they're smart.

    Never had a group of such douchers been assembled in Mexico. If anyone did have any interest in Anarcho-capitalism, they sure don't now after seeing this collection of dingleberries. Make sure to note these people aren't regular anarchists. These are like bitcoin losers who still wanna be rich and holding power over others. The story is interesting though and I found it to be a decent true crime story. Recommend for true crime fans. Not recommend if you're into anarchy or punk rock.

    Interesting and funny, but not in a good way.

    .............. I'll watch a documentary about typeface, so I'll dial this up. I'll listen to folks justify their reasons for "anarchy". Interesting to see folks & hear their actual words, explain what they think is "new ground".

    I find it also interesting/ironic that all these folks traveled to Mexico on roads built by a government or flew in a plane that was built with safety standards; stay in homes or hotels that were built using governmental building codes; drive cars, ostensibly, built with federal safety standards, etc.

    In other words, why not actually go somewhere where you have to start from the bottom? Beyond using crypto - build your own homes, grow your own food, ferment your own alcohol, so you can party duuuude 🤙🏼................

    Could Just As Easily Be Called "The Idiots"

    Episode 5 Update: I want to be fair to the show. Four stars out of ten doesn't mean terrible, but rather low mediocre. There are so many ideas that could have been explored here, but the main threads aren't about philosophical ideas or interesting personalities, but rather about greedy or foolish or alcoholic people who think they're on the road to utopia. I watch because I want to respect the work of the filmmakers... but this still isn't adding up to much. Contrary to the series' title, its promise, it's not about anarchy. Some episodes are about how bitcoin swindlers can hijack a concept (Anarchapulco). Other episodes are about bad things happening to people who've made bad decisions and at the same time been burned by life and by others. Yet other episodes are about grief. The series is a bit of a rambling mess. It's become background music to me, even though I really wanted to see an exciting exploration of anarchy. --

    Anarcho-capitalism only works in a world in which homesteading can legitimately be practiced. In other words, not on earth. It's basically the philosophy of "I'm in the lifeboat, pull in the lifelines."

    The people in this doc are very un-Randian takers and losers, not builders. The alcoholic quasi-leader Jeff Berwick made enough money to sail around the world before starting his little cult in Acupulco. Where did his money come from? Wealthy investors pouring money into his '90s dot-com that went bankrupt a few years later because his dot-com business was actually vapor, nothing, hot air. His partner in the venture tried to kill himself by jumping from the eighth floor of a building... but somehow failed. And yet, hobbling on crutches, he was able to recommend a book ("The Creature From Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve") to Berwick that set him to thinking how great it would to be totally free. You know, to have other people do stuff for you while you drink on your boat that you bought after the company that you openly admit you had no idea how to run lost all its value for other investors but whose structure allowed you to escape with the loot.

    Another set of winners is a young couple facing decades in prison for a 2015 pot bust who decide to become fugitives... and get money from their family to go on the run to Acupulco. You know, just like true entrepreneurs do. (This couple is somewhat sympathetic to me, though. I hope they shed some of the battiness around them and have a decent life.)

    And then there are Berwick's organizers (because Berwick knows how to open a bottle of hooch but not much else of practical value), a couple from Georgia who advocate "unschooling." Because what good is a society where people might actually learn a thing or two that isn't just based on their childish whims? In fact, when your child gets an illness or a serious injury, who cares if your unschooled, untaxed society hasn't provided roads, ambulances, medical training, money for biotech research? You can simply heal your kid with herbs from your tomato patch, right? The one your parents wired you the money for.

    Yes, government can be a problem. It definitely overreaches. But government is nothing more than an organizing principle, a means to resolve disputes and to provide defense, including from environmental disaster. The "anarchists" spewing nonsense here want to tear down American democracy so they can start over. In other words, they have absolutely no concern for the disabled, for the elderly, for anyone at all who will get mowed down as society is destroyed. Theirs is a sociopath's philosophy.

    I'm barely two episodes in. As the filmmaker spent six years making this, starting with his initial flirtation with anarchy, i'm not quite sure if he'll have the chops to provide reasonable counter arguments to the nonsensical arguments put forward by this motley crew. As my headline suggests, I think these people reveal their naivete every time they open their mouths, but it would still be nice to hear a sober perspective.
