As a Spaniard it is always said that there is a great difference between the American who travels outside of his country and the one who doesn't (take Hemmingway for instance what a story of adventure. Yes, it is true, in Spain we have this marginalized youth who have decided to live semi-outside of the system (and some have completely opted out, if you don't go to the right, schools, if you're not from the right family of have the right contacts then you may as well kiss your life goodbye in Spain, it's not like London where they take you at face value in the labour market, sometimes you are just marked for failure despite having potential. I'm here in Spain as a Spaniard having lived in England for the majority of my life seeking to remedy these problems as a capitalist by giving opportunities to people with talent or at least the potential to develop (there are some ethics in business.

Anarchism is all well and good on the notion Everybody wants to chip in. but what about the people who dont want to work and just want to take scot free? Its nice trading bike parts ect. but who pays for factory that makes the parts and who works in that factory. I love the idea of Anarchism, it would be nice to allow peopleto live a co-operative lifestyle without being persecuted by the government, because techincally they arent causing any harm, if they pooled resources and bought properties for co-operative living. but then it almost feels Cult'ish to consider haha

Hey guys, congratulations for the video, I've loved it. Actually I am from barcelona and it is interesting that someone explains this reality. To give more ideas, you might know that here in Catalunya there is the independence debate, maybe you can talk about it and give pros and cons. It is a bit of a hot topic, but very interesting in my opinion(Actually, I'm a pro independence jeje)

Interesting stuff, very well produced too. Did you meet any foreign nationals (i. e. non-Spaniards who have moved in order to join the movement) on your trip?

It's all fun & games until someone gets invaded. Then you will need the money that Capitalism provides to fund your army.
