Anarchist Literature Thread

[Anonymous No.10281594]

It's obvious to recommend Orwell's "Homage to Catalonia," but is there much else anarchist literature out there? Anything from essays to fiction would be appreciated.

Manuel Rojas is a chilean anarchist writer, I haven't read all of the books of his fictionalized self biography but the two I did were amazingly good.
His most recognized work are his short stories, specially "The glass of milk" but I recommend you to take a look at his "Tetralogy of learning", composed by "Son of thief", "Better than wine", "Shadows against the wall" and "The dark shining life".

He's also a poet if you are into poetry too.

How exactly do "Anarchists" expect to uphold a Communist society without a repressive state? Newsflash, (a lot of) people won't take kindly to some scrawny faggot robbing them of the fruit of their labor so he can finance his thesis on Sartre

Thanks, I'll check him out, anonimo. Learning Latin, so maybe I can learn Spanish later to read him in his tongue. I feel like poetry is always translated poorly.

Orwell was a lifelong moderate socialist, and very much *not* an anarchist.

[Anonymous No.10284050]

Anarchist Morality by Kropotkin is a very nice short read.
The Dispossessed by Le Guin is also very good.
I like Stirner too.

Homage to Catalonia and the "Bread book" by Kropotkin are very much memed by online anarchists.

[Anonymous No.10284071]

>>10284051
The Conquest of Bread is meh. Nothing too special. Kropotkin's other books(Mutual Aid, Fields Factories and Workshops) are worth reading though.
For contemporary stuff, I really like Graeber(Debt) and James C. Scott(Against the Grain and The Art of Not Being Governed)

The only book worth reading by Kaczynski but damn, it's powerful. I'd recommend Ellul for those who want to dive deeper.
Every 'anarchists' who support either communism or capitalism haven't put a single effort into their mental gymnastics.

How do I know you've never actually read many books? Even your beloved Ancap writers admitted "anarcho" and "libertarian" were cop-outs of the European leftist tradition that has been around since before Marx.

Most anarchists lived and thought in an era before we had a global, mechanized, totalitarian system.

Even in the 19th century you could fuck off to the woods and not get run over by a hick in his SUV or have to fend off Yippie joggers trying to take selfies for googlebucks from their blog.

In the 20th, you could maybe escape to South America without getting swamped by hipsters on psychedelic journeys of self-discovery, before trying to sell their documentary and get a mid-level creative management position while trying to keep your micro-dosing LSD levels at a stage where they don't make you see space demons from another dimension.

Today you live in your head or you blow your brains out after killing as many people as you can just to get them out of their misery.

Well, everyone on the left does. I feel like you don't ever leave r/liberty or your subreddit very often. Discursively, libertarianism is still used to refer to the past (May '68, Paris Commune) and present events (Rojava).

Homage to Catalonia Chapter 9, he says he would readily have joined the anarchists to get to the Madrid fighting.

> I had told everyone for a long time past that I was going to leave the P.O.U.M. As far as my purely personal preferences went I would have liked to join the Anarchists.
