Hmm, it was very interesting. The world of the "Willkill" would be a very good metaphor to the laws for gun control.
Although, he should probably work on how he introduces these ideas when going into the metaphor. For the first couple of seconds, I thought he was a maniac that wanted to kill everybody, and Youtube especially, people tend to listen to the first few sentences and tune out the rest. It's a brash idea, but it is possible to introduce it without the initial recoiling effect of it- especially considering the fact that it would be hell for paraphrasing.
But largely, I pretty much agreed with his ideas. The only thing I have a dispute with is his vision of a corporate stateless society, but that only took up a couple of seconds in the entire movie. Another thread, another ptime I guess. lol

It's a nice idea.
He has some pretty spiffy driving skills for somebody driving with a mic in one hand, one on the wheel and recording a video at the same time.

It makes sense.
But the funny thing is, in a state-less, capitalist society, the capitalist with the biggest group of people wields more "willkill"ers, which means this person can do more damage in less time.
Poor, pooooor capitalist. ]:

Mr. Awesome! It makes sense. But the funny thing is, in a state-less, capitalist society, the capitalist with the biggest group of people wields more "willkill"ers, which means this person can do more damage in less time. Poor, pooooor capitalist. ]: And thus the company becomes a government. Illogical, no? And if you think about it, the only real difference between a government and a company is it's size. Both control production, have citizens (workers), the same beaurocratic structure. They also both provide welfare, both take income tax (companies in the form of wage cuts), and depending on the industry, both could very well erect an army. The only thing stopping the smaller beast of a company from doing so is the government, which is far easier to control from the inside than demolish. Not only that, but both have propoganda, and 'political parties'. For example, look at Coke and Pepsi. Each has propoganda dissuading people from the other, and a lot of people firmly choose to purchase one of the two. The only difference is that a government counts your votes; a company counts your money. So, what would be the point of demolishing the state, only to further the purpose of another, even more lawless and beaurocratic?

******** summary:
The person with the most money would pay for weapons and soldiers, and simply buy government power. And thus, they would charge income tax, and everything would be back where we started.
Companies are governments.

I think it's hilarious how they can call them selves anarchists.
And the government says we're chaos mongers.
Capitalism without government restriction would be worse than what we have now in my holy [lolol, jk] opinion.
