Malice shares stories of life under totalitarian regimes, such as the Soviet Union and North Korea.
“We’ve seen over and over what happens when governments become totalitarian, dictatorial.”
He talks about how the media was often complicit in totalitarianism. For example, the New York Times helped cover up Stalin’s mass starvation of millions of Ukrainians.
Malice says he is hopeful for America today, because the old corporate media is losing its control of information.
Malice’s distrust in government is why he’s calls himself an anarchist.
He makes the case that things like food, education, and even security, are better left in private hands.
“Maybe we don’t need government at all,” he says. “When you have something as important as security or anything, food, education, to have it at the purview of a monopoly, let alone a government monopoly, makes no sense.”
I’m skeptical that the private sector would do those things better. In our full interview, we debate those issues and more.
