What Is This GodArchy Thing All About? GodArchy Podcast #1
Posted in : GodArchy Podcast on by : Michael Maharrey Tags: anarchy, Christianity, voluntaryism
It’s the inaugural episode of the GodArchy Podcast.
For more than a year, people have been telling me I need to start a GodArchy podcast. I’ve fought the idea. But I finally gave in.
In the first episode, I explain the concept behind GodArchy and provide a brief overview of the fundamental principles behind it. I also give a little bit of my personal background, which should give you some insight into where I’m coming from.

Your background regarding Christian neocon describes me to a tee. I look forward to your podcasts
I think a lot of us that grew up in evangelical churches came from that perspective. It was kind of part-in-parcel. Thanks for stopping by!
This is great. Please put this on Spotify too.
God Bless.
I’ll see about doing that!
I’m a strict classical Unitarian in the tradition of English dissenters Theophilus Lindsey, Joseph Priestley, and Thomas Belsham. I’m not an anarchist of any kind, as least as the term is generally understood, as I believe that “no government” is as much a utopian dream as the “total government” dream that all the collectivists want. I definitely believe in the literal return of Jesus Christ to set up a literal world-ruling Kingdom of God. Until then, the representative, constitutional republic that the Founders gave us is the best model human beings will ever come up with.
“The representative, constitutional republic that the Founders gave us is the best model human beings will ever come up with.”
Except for its utter failure.
I wouldn’t say it has utterly failed. It is in the process of utterly failing, but if we hadn’t had it for the past 200+ years we would probably have gone into total despotism long, long ago. The huge mistake, I believe, was in the scrapping of the AOC instead of just amending them as was the original purpose for the Philadelphia Convention. So, I guess my view is that our republican form of government has utterly failed in comparison to what it was supposed to ideally be, but that it has not failed in that it has spared us so far from complete and irreversible totalitarianism.
I think that’s fair. And from a pragmatic standpoint, I think that the Constitution as ratified provides a tool within the current political environment to decentralize power.
