A Song Dedicated to 1,000 Years of Irish Anarchy (Brehon Law and Stateless, Natural Law Governance)
Last night I stumbled upon this brilliant post from @erinn, regarding Brehon law, and Ireland's long history of peaceful anarchic, stateless governance.
It's a topic I've found fascinating for years now, and am determined to learn much more about.
In the spirit of this excitement, and of @erinn's post, I wanted to share a traditional Irish song I've recently learned, about the illegality of moonshine in Ireland.
Enjoy! And be sure to check out @erinn's post!
NOTE: In the video I mentioned the "Irish alcohol prohibition." This was somewhat of a misnomer, as there was never a blanket prohibition on all alcohol in Ireland as there was in the US. This song is about those types of booze against which the state did act, namely moonshine or "poteen."
For more information/knowledge regarding the stateless, individualist Brehon law, please check out this excellent lecture:

Top o the morning to ya!
Haha, what an awesome start to my day Graham 😃
Problem is now I just want to go to the nearest Irish pub and get pissed up on Guinness and sweet, sweet Irish whiskey.
Funny how Irish ‘drinking’ music does that to ya!?
Great video mate and unlike the twats commenting below I actually watched it 😂
Lol. Thanks brother! Yeah, some sweet, sweet Irish whisky sounds great right about now!

Nice video you 👍

I guess that made them pretty easy to conquer.
Not sure about that.
Either way, they seemed to have been doing fine until the statist goons came. Another proof of concept for the self-owners. Another fail for statism.
it would only be that if they were still doing it today and were not overtaken by statists. What is the anarchist solution to screwworm?
It would only be a fail for statism if statism failed? Yes, I agree, I guess.
I suppose that is the corollary to your example only being a success had it actually succeeded into the present.
Something succeeded in the past =/= that same thing could not succeed in the present.
dinosaurs succeeded in the past, now they are extinct. In the present they would probably be eaten by wolves or bears and would not likely survive breathing our present atmosphere. The same with ancient Irish governance. How would you solve the problem of the Chinese or Muslims or the British coming to take over?
“Dinosaurs would be eaten by wolves.”
And such are the arguments of a statist.
Nice post!!😃
