Rev Left Radio · Dec 3, 2017 · 1h

Carne Ross is a former British diplomat, and Middle East and WMD expert, who resigned in 2004 after giving then-secret evidence to a British inquiry into the Iraq war.

After he quit, he founded the world's first non-profit diplomatic advisory group, Independent Diplomat, which advises democratic countries and political movements around the world. In 2007, his critique of contemporary diplomacy was published: "Independent Diplomat: Dispatches from an Unaccountable Elite".

Carne is now an outspoken anarchist, and in this episode he sits down with Brett to discuss The State and Anarchism.
