Episode synopsis
As crypto-currency becomes the centerpiece of the second Anarchapulco, young veteran Paul Propert and Chicagoan Jason Henza each make the trek south to join the community. Soon, a crypto boom creates a dividing line between instant millionaires and those who missed the bus, prompting Lily and John to create their own, less formal anarchist conference – “Anarchaforko.”
About The Anarchists
Unfolding over six years, what begins as an impulsive one-off gathering turns into an ever-growing annual event attracting sponsorship from crypto-currency companies and featuring capitalist statist speakers such as Ron Paul and BitCoin investor Roger Ver. And when rule-avoidant "freedom" activists come together in one of the most dangerous cities in the world, incoherent ideology and cognitive dissonance rears its ugly head.
