Where does one start with anarchist literature? Is there a /lit/ chart?

>> No.13359481

>>13359292
I suggest Bakunin or Kropotkin.

You should also read Marx to have the socialist context.

No it isn't. Anarchism is the state of no authority. How can there be collectivization without a decision making organ?

>> No.13360539

>>13360199
There is a difference between authority and hierarchy, the latter of which is what anarchism rejects, I believe.

But I only just started reading about this, so yeah,

Well firstly anarchism is purely nonsensical, they claim to be radical but if you actually ever do anything substantively radical like anally sodomize a boy scout or burn a cross on some rich niggers lawn they'll denounce you and turn you into the feds. You have various leftists who think their moralism should be enforced by gangs and rightists who really just want to protect the private property of the riches fuckfaces in the world.
Now secondly if you're really interested nonetheless James Joll's The Anarchists is a good introduction:
http://www.ditext.com/joll/anarchists.html
Also this Bibliographical Essay appended to James J. Martin's "Men Against the State" is a useful guide:

Anarchism is about challenging all unjustifiable hierarchies. Absolutist individualism is achievable in such a world, but the masses cannot operate that way, so it isn’t a contradiction to say anarchism can be collectivist, not at all.

I recommend Alfredo Bonnano's The Anarchist Tension.

I left anarchism years ago and am something quite opposite it now but that work is really something.

I believe, vaguely, sovereign power ought to be secure and formalized and that the function of social organization is the maintenance of order. As well, that 'The People' cannot rule and that any time some one claims that this is the case there are surely (mostly secret) centers of power which have formed to fill the void and which rule without accountability or responsibility to the future of the social body concerned.

>>13361306
>Story?
It is not very interesting. I have come to believe that anarchism is fruit of a poisonous tree. I give it credit for having the courage to take its precepts to their logical conclusion. One particularly accessible dissection of its rotten genealogy can be found in The Ego and Its Own, last section of part one called The Free. Also, in Nietzsche.

>Apparently it wasn’t much of anything if you’re something quite opposite now.
This is an annoying statement and reeks of the reductionist idiocy of sports team enthusiasts. Written works can be good and important to me even if I do not believe them. Stop thinking like a hyperpolitical philistine.

The point of socialism is for all those people to “rule” their own lives. Secret centers of power, once rooted out wont be a problem, since everyone would be mostly satisfied. Those who aren’t couldn’t secretly steer it to ruin. That’s one of the many flaws of this system.

Its rather silly to go back and believe in the divine right of kings, is all.

i usually recommend malatestas at the cafe, its more of a play written to tackle the basic questions and issues people have with anarchism. after that just glance at the wiki pages for kropotkin, emma goldman, bakunin and malatesta and pick one to read on the anarchist library
