black sails fans, who would you have wanted to play black sam bellamy if he were in the show?

my top pick is ben barnes c. 2014 who was busy doing sons of liberty. he was famous but not TOO famous. he's perfect to me

i would have loved him being involved with the anti hornigold plot as in real life he became a captain after hornigold split with half the crew (including vane!). maybe he and vane could have had a brother like relationship?

i do understand why they didn't put him in, as they gave vane the role that bellamy played in history. but like imagine. god.

The best democracy is anarchy

"Anarchism and democracy are—or should be—largely identical," wrote the anthropologist David Graeber.

Long before European governments or their colonies began to embrace "democracy," something far more democratic was widely practiced in the world's vast ungovernable spaces.

Black Sam Bellamy's 1717 pirate crew was "a collection of people in which there was likely to be at least some firsthand knowledge of a very wide range of directly democratic institutions," wrote David Graeber, the late anarchist and anthropologist, in one of his essays collected posthumously in The Ultimate Hidden Truth of the World…. Those institutions ranged "from Swedish things to African village assemblies to Native American councils": a rich assortment of influences as the sailors found themselves "forced to improvise some mode of self-government in the complete absence of any state." The very ungovernability of the Atlantic itself, the vast inland frontiers, the dense forests and swamplands, made it "the perfect intercultural space" of experiment and improvisation.
