S16E04 - Libertarians and their slavery metaphors

Season 16, Ep. 4

In Episode 4 of Uncolonized Season 16, Daniel and Gavin dive deep into the 2023 film Jones Plantation, an indie movie created by anarcho-capitalists that uses slavery as a metaphor for government oppression. But behind the "freedom" rhetoric lies a more insidious truth: the film’s creators seem to align with ideologies that ultimately favour the oppressor’s side, not the enslaved. We dissect how using slavery metaphors to promote anti-state, pro-capitalist agendas conveniently ignores the historical context of white supremacy, capitalism's role in the slave trade, and how these narratives perpetuate the very power imbalances they claim to oppose. Tune in as we unpack this messy, revisionist take and expose why this film is more fuel for the libertarian myth machine.
