To start off the playlist this month, the Interrupters predict “this will go down in history as the age of outrage.”

| Artist | Song | Comments |
| Devin Townsend Project | Silent Militia | Mises points out that regardless of the type of government in a particular country, it is always allowed to continue only by the consent of the people – we could say a “silent militia”. “All for the thrill of the kill of the world’s oldest haunted sacred cow.” Who knows what Devin means here. But we could certainly say one of the oldest phenomena in human history is tyrannical government. Therefore, it is up to this silent militia to “kill” this oldest haunted sacred cow. |
| Dream Theater | Outcry | |
| Havok | Intention to Deceive | |
| Killakoi | Government Plastic | |
| KMFDM | WWIII | |
| Leah | Enter The Highlands | Leah is an awesome libertarian artist – amazing symphonic metal. |
| Revocation | Deathonomics | A synonym for chrony capitalism |
| EconStories | Fight of the Century | Keynes vs. Hayek rap battle, part 2! You have to hear it to believe it. |
| Knower | The Government Knows | A little crude for my tastes – but admittedly humorous |
| Lorde | Glory and Gore | Who has the greater glory: someone who is successful via violence, or someone who is successful via peace? |
| Rag’N’Bone Man | Human | Governments tend to put blame on people that are not guilty. See my review and acoustic cover of this song. |
| Anti-Flag | Tearing Down the Borders | Technically, I think these guys are a little more Marx than Mises. But hey, in terms of the Berlin wall, that was a good border to tear down. So we’ll go with that. And I’m sorry if this triggers Stefan Molyneux or any other Trump supporters. |
| Green Day | American Idiot | Great song, but is it ok to disparage someone as a “redneck”? We’re not supposed to put someone down based on their skin color or culture, right? |
| IDLES | Mercedes Marxist | It seems that many Marxists enjoy the fruits of Capitalism while wanting to spare you from the “evils” of it. |

| Pennywise | Revolution | |
| The Interrupters | Outrage | |
| The Offspring | Meaning of Life | |

| Jordan Page | War Machine | |
| Matt Bankert | Don’t Be An Idiot | |
| Mountain Sprout | Screw the Government | |
| Owen Glass | General Butler | My new favorite authentic libertarian band – these guys have such a great, earthy, organic sound. Great poetry, great melodies. |
| Panic! At the Disco | Emperor’s New Clothes | I’m taking back the crown, I’m all dressed up and naked, I see what’s mine and take it (Finders keepers, losers weepers) |
| Pink Floyd | Sheep | |
| Project 86 | Evil (A Chorus of Resistence) | “I want something you have” – hmm, sounds a little envious |
| Rush | Red Barchetta | |
| Shihad | Think You’re So Free | |
| Smashing Pumpkins | Clones | Ah, the joys of conformity. “All are one and one are all.” Creepy collectivism. But apparently they’ve destroyed the government, so maybe they are libertarian clones. |
| The Last Internationale | Soul on Fire | |
| Warren Zevon | Lawyers, Guns, and Money | This song describes the composition of government |
| Weezer | Everybody Wants to Rule the World | It seems that way, anyway. Is it ok if we just rule ourselves? |
