The Possibility of Anarchy with Sophie Scott-Brown

In this conversation, Sophie Scott-Brown, historian and political philosopher, joins me to explore how anarchism isn’t just a theory, but a way of seeing, organizing, and acting in the world. We unpack the illusion of democracy, the dangers of temporary power, and what freedom actually means through an anarchist lens. When disaster strikes or institutions crumble, does anarchy step in as chaos—or as a natural form of human cooperation? More than just rebellion, anarchism is about rethinking power, human connection, and the structures we assume are necessary. We dig into direct action, mutual aid, the role of creativity, and even cryptocurrency—examining whether anarchism is best understood as a philosophy, an adjective, or a verb. If today’s systems are failing, what comes next? And could the answer have been here all along? 00:00:00 Intro 00:02:02 The Modern Collapse of Order and the Anarchist Lens 00:05:45 Do We Have Democracy?
