In episode 147 of AnarchoAgenda, host Riley Blake interviews Dennis Levitt, president of United We Pledge, a nonprofit dedicated to fostering civic education and patriotism among youth through history and civics programs. Levitt shares his vision of patriotism as a deep appreciation for the ideals and freedoms of the United States—not blind nationalism—but a commitment to personal responsibility, gratitude, and the pursuit of becoming better citizens. He emphasizes the importance of historical memory, citing the Holocaust Museum’s powerful message that 'remembrance brings redemption,' as essential to preventing future atrocities. The conversation shifts to Liberty Village, a 32-acre educational campus under development in Washington County, Utah, designed as a living history experience with scaled replicas of iconic American buildings. Built entirely through donations and free of debt, the project aims to make American history accessible and engaging for students and families. Levitt reflects on his journey from corporate public relations to full-time nonprofit leadership, driven by a desire to create meaningful impact. He concludes with a personal story of transforming his neighborhood into a community-driven Easter experience, illustrating his belief in 'lifting where you stand' as a path to a more compassionate society. Despite ideological differences—Riley identifying as an anarchist and Levitt as a religious libertarian—the dialogue reveals shared values around liberty, education, and grassroots community action.
