Carne Ross is a former British diplomat, and Middle East and WMD expert, who resigned in 2004 after giving then-secret evidence to a British inquiry into the Iraq war.
After he quit, he founded the world’s first non-profit diplomatic advisory group, Independent Diplomat, which advises democratic countries and political movements around the world. In 2007, his critique of contemporary diplomacy was published: “Independent Diplomat: Dispatches from an Unaccountable Elite”.
Carne is now an outspoken anarchist, and in this episode he sits
down with Brett to discuss The State and Anarchism.
Topics Include: Thomas Hobbes, the Social Contract theorists, moral
culpability as agents of the State, the Iraq War, spontaneous
mutual aid, the Rojavan Revolution, Participatory Budgeting, Emma
Goldman, and much, much more.
