Walker is joined by Aleks Svetski, an author, speaker and entrepreneur. He co-authored a fantastic book with Mark Moss called The Uncommunist Manifesto, a rebuttal to Marx and Engels The Communist Manifesto.

He’s also building Spirit of Satoshi, a Bitcoin-centric AI.

The conversation centers around Communism, Capitalism, Bitcoin and Energy. We unpack some of the misconceptions people have about both communism and capitalism, and talk about how to reframe these discussions. We also dig into how much communism has already infected our world, even here in the supposedly “capitalist” United States of America.
