What is the best piece of political literature written by Pierre-Joseph Proudhon?

Any other good early Anarchism or Socialism related literature suggestions are also welcome.

There are no good books about Anarchism or socialism.

Try these.

Probably, What is Property

As for Anarchism with a socialist flavour to it, I would just suggest seeking out the major names: Bukunin, Kropotkin, etc. I'd definitely get to grips with Marx also.

Thanks but I really need some stuff on that topic.

Yea that's what I was planning to do but I'm hoping to find some hidden gem.

Man, I already read a lot of right wing classics as well. I'm trying to study the other side of the spectrum here. I already read that book by Burke in your list for example but now I need a socialists take on this period.

does anyone ever actually read proudhon? he seems like someone who's namechecked than actually discussed.

He was supposed to be extremely influential to his contemporaries and still influences politicians today. I'd say many people read him but I do have the feeling he slipped into obscurity for the big crowd.

Bakunin, Kropotkin, Goldman and Voltairine de Cleyre.

There was another infograph for this with more titles, but I seem to have misplaced mine.

Well the obvious answer is "What is Property?"

While Proudhon was more toward the anarchistic side of the argument, you could look at William Godwin, namely his work "Political Justice," or the somewhat earlier Thomas Spence for the more socialistic outlooks. The only other Frenchman that comes to mind is Charles Fourier, who, in my opinion, was kind of a fool. But his work "L'Association Domestique Agricole" may be worth looking into, for a far more utopian perspective.

Past that is Bakunin. Those are really the "founding fathers" of anarcho-socialist movements, which really petered out around the second decade of the 20th century.

I was referring to the original movement, which in no way carried over to the Spanish Civil War, only influenced it. Think of it like a rushing river being dammed into a lake, while somewhere along its run, a tributary branches out and merges with a different river.

Bakunin was anarcho-collectivist. But in practice every community is self-managed as they feel like
