I'm beginning to come around to anarchism, got any reading suggestions?
I'm beginning to come around to anarchism, got any reading suggestions?
I'm digging anarchists' more hands on, pragmatic approach to politics. I finished The Conquest of Bread a couple of weeks ago and I'm currently working my way through Bullshit Jobs. Any suggestions about theory, praxis, mutual aid, etc. would be appreciated
You're viewing a single thread.
What is Property by Pierre-Joseph Proudhon
The Conquest of Bread by Peter Kropotkin
Luigi Galleani
Emma Goldman
There's a lot. I could make a more comprehensive list when I get done with work, if you'd like.
Awesome, thank you! I'd be happy to hear any other recommendations you have. I'm reading an anarchist programme by Malatesta next, then it's on to anarchy by Malatesta. I might dive a bit deeper into David Graeber's works after that. Bullshit Jobs was fascinating
Some more I thought of, by no means a comprehensive list though. Just what I've read on the subject that appealed to me as I was studying anarchism as a political philosophy.
Statism and Anarchy by Mikhail Bakunin
Anarcho-syndicalism: Theory and Practice by Rudolf Rocker
Mutual Aid by Kropotkin
Trotsky discusses anarchism in Marxism and Ararchism
Nestor Makhno has some interesting writings
Chomsky is good
Émile Armand has some good writings on Individualist Anarchism (he's very anti-conflict though, which I tend to disagree with)
Lastly, something I would strongly recommend if you're new to anarchist thought and philosophy is Anarchism: Arguments For and Against by Albert Meltzer.
I am leaving out tons of great writings and writers/philosophers/theorists (and theories)/poets/etc...
There is a lot out there. Let me know if you have any questions!
Awesome, I appreciate it! Especially the inclusion of something that would seem to have (at least some) criticisms of anarchism. I've been having trouble finding good faith critiques of leftist thought be it Marxism, anarchism, Maoism, etc. Searching "criticism of x" usually results in right wing hit pieces
