Havnt looked into the actual thinking behind anarchism. Played a lot of 2b2t.org back in my day so thats my reference point. Please enlighten me on your thinking.

    the beginning of the redemption arc? I hear every anarchist mention “The Conquest of Bread” by Kropotkin, it’s gotta be good I just haven’t gotten around to reading it.

      It’s kinda the foundational mutual aid text, but like you could read modern stuff if you want fresh ideas vs to learn the history of a movement.

      Also lmao, you are also a little surprised at who’s asking. We can only hope :)

        Idk, what broke me into leftism was “Wage Labour and Capital” and what sealed the deal was “Socialism: From Utopian to Scientific”. It wasn’t the freshness of the ideas that blew me away but how solid and rigorous the foundations are.

        Before that I thought lefties just turn the “social programs” dial to 11 and the infighting was about how to best turn that dial and how social programs should work. To see such a rigorous approach to politics blew my socks off and broke with all my preconceived notions.
