1/2 “Elon Musk’s rise to trillionaire status marks a new pinnacle of oligarchy and a dark day for democracy. But this moment of dramatically concentrated wealth was not inevitable. Musk will be a government-backed trillionaire whose fortune was fueled by an era of regressive public policy choices"

Snap from a talk, panel, and audience discussion in Luxembourg with the wonderful Nora Schleich on digitality, AI, and the quasi-apocalyptic narratives shaped by Silicon Valley techbros, optimization capitalism, reactionary stakeholders, media, politics, conspiracy milieus, and fantasy worldviews.

🚨 Final pt out, reflecting on how anarchism must avoid both dogmatic rigidity and paralyzing over-reflection. Leave that to the ideologies 😎 Thanks for following the 32-week series and for all your thoughtful feedback. youtu.be/poSU5r9KM7g #anarchy #anarchie #philosophie #politik #ethik #podcast

YouTube video by Robert König

Robert Kng @robertkng.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

🚨 Pt 31 out. In this penultimate part we explore the relationship between anarchy and religion/spirituality. It shows that the anti-hierarchical rejection of clerical castes and dogmatic institutional feudalism stands opposite a deep existential mysticism. youtu.be/V3WD4DSjRyg #anarchy #philosophy

🚨 Part 30 out. “Absolute liberation” in anarchism means recognizing that “freedom” is often misused to hide power. Anarchism instead understands freedom as ongoing, unconditional liberation through inclusive, non-hierarchical, decentralized ways of shaping reality. www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-sn...

Robert Kng @robertkng.bsky.social · 16/11/2025

🚨 Pt. 29 out. Anarchy means the diverse, vibrant relationships living beings form are an end in themselves. We exist with anarchism to relate to one another, not to use those relations as tools—a path that leads straight to domination. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UTA... #anarchie #podcast #philosophy

YouTube video by Robert König

Robert Kng @robertkng.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

🚨 Pt 28 out. This episode explores the insight that the concrete realization of freedom can begin every day. Anarchism sees humans not as abstract, passive passengers of their own lives, a planned society, or an uncontrollable “history” or superstitious “fate.” youtu.be/4-_svZV-38E #anarchie

Robert Kng @robertkng.bsky.social · 02/11/2025

🚨 Pt27 out. Another goal of anarchism is realizing life in “Bread and Roses” (cf. Rose Schneiderman, 1911): creating conditions where life isn’t limited to mere survival (bread) but equally allows fulfillment, participation, creativity, and self-determination (roses). youtu.be/ofSk43SQJX4 #anarchy

🚨Part 26 out! In our review of common anarchist goals, we now explore abolition — the dismantling and unlearning of supposedly unchangeable norms of coexistence. Featuring examples of active abolitionist practice. 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=deOa... #anarchy #philosophy #ethics #politics #podcast

🚨Pt 24 out. It is dedicated to a traditionally much-discussed special issue that anarchism continuously grapples with: What exactly is violence, and how should it be dealt with? www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3e4... #anarchy #philosophy #ethics #violence #politics #psychology

Robert Kng @robertkng.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

🚨 Pt 22 out. We’re starting a two-part series on concrete non-dominating forms of action. How does one act anarchistically? This first part explores diverse acts of refusal and negation in the face of various situations of subjugation. youtu.be/S7jk6N8Km_4 #anarchie #philosophie #podcast #anarchy

Robert Kng @robertkng.bsky.social · 20/09/2025

🚨 Part 21 is here. This third section on anarchist educational ideas deals with the practical methods of practicing, training, and cultivating non-authoritarian decision-making processes in all areas of life. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWHI... #Anarchie #philosophie #podcast #politik #vortrag

YouTube video by Robert König

Robert Kng @robertkng.bsky.social · 12/09/2025

🚨 Part 20 out! It presents key proposals of anarchist education that reject training and normalizing the rule of the strongest, focusing instead on cooperation, mutualism, inclusion of real alternatives and relationship care—education as a lifelong, not institutional, task. youtu.be/Js5IqZyFD2I

Einführung in das Denken des Anarchismus 20: Ansätze anarchistischer Pädagogik

YouTube video by Robert König

Robert Kng @robertkng.bsky.social · 06/09/2025

🚨 Part 19 out on questions of anarchist conceptions of education—one of the core themes of anarchism. For it is precisely within normalized structures of dominance that freedom must first be (re)learned. Incidentally, so-called “education systems” are no exception to this. youtu.be/86XX7YaLK5w

Einführung in das Denken des Anarchismus 19: Anarchistische Ideen zur Bildung

YouTube video by Robert König

Robert Kng @robertkng.bsky.social · 30/08/2025

🚨 Pt 18 out. Most anarchist approaches understand dynamic processes of decision-making as the very essence of social reality. At the core of this lies the so-called principle of consensus as a method: what it is, what it is not, and how it works. youtu.be/5S92p8PNp2E #anarchy #philosophy #podcast

Einführung in das Denken des Anarchismus 18: Das Konsensprinzip

YouTube video by Robert König

Robert Kng @robertkng.bsky.social · 23/08/2025

🚨 Pt 17 out! It introduces the core concern of anarchist tactics: decision-making processes of all kinds. In doing so, we reflect on the structures of fluid councils, mandate and delegation systems, the primacy of cooperation over competition etc. youtu.be/xrRmKCKhmoU #anarchie #podcast #philosophie

Robert Kng @robertkng.bsky.social · 16/08/2025

🚨 Pt 16 on anarchist tactics and their principles for non-hierarchical and inclusive social structures. Key ideas: decentralization, free association, affinity groups, swarms, experimental situationism, open structure research, and administration without domination. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQlP...

Robert Kng @robertkng.bsky.social · 01/08/2025

🚨 Pt14 out now. It deals with the structural & institutional aspects of dominance. How are they embedded in our social coexistence? For this, we introduce the philosophical concept of “dialectics” and see how it is made fruitful by anarchism. youtu.be/3FE-gbY-sBY #anarchy #anarchie #podcast
