Name me some good, solid books on anarchy. Something well-elaborated and not some teenage bullshit.
Thank you very much indeed.

I don't know anything about anarchy, but Red Grass is my favorite novel.

Memes aside, Stefan Molyneux can serve as a good introduction to anarchy. Then you can delve into older anarchists that are more intellectualized and make you sound properly well-read when you name drop them.

Have you read The Froth on the Daydream? I just did and it's marvellous. I was looking forward to reading Heartsnatcher also. I heard it's great.

I'm currently reading The CNT in the Spanish Revolution. It does pretty well in explaining the structure and operations of the CNT. There are 3 volumes though.

I've read everything by Vian and strongly advise for it.

After a while you'll start noticing his personal evolution and a strong transition in genres and themes.

Anarchy presents the paradox of relying on herd mentality to liberate itself from herd mentality.

This book instilled in me a profound contemplative melancholy that was oddly against my joyful nature.

Seconding Kropotkin. Although more of an economic text than anything.

>>7151655
No, it's really not.
