I was thinking about asking you some suggestions of good anarchist readings, because I made some searches and - wow! - the bibliography is really huge.
Yes, and I only know a small fraction of it...
I need some help to separate the wheat from the shaft, please.
I can recommend stuff I like and I know is good, but there may be other good stuff I don't know and am missing. Anyway, having done the limited-liability, standard disclaimer... Bakunin is pretty good. He goes to the heart of anti authoritarian philosophy mocking the authority of the state, religion, 'science' and society. https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/michail-bakunin-man-society-and-free... ------- Lysander Spooner (a natural rights lawyer) http://www.lysanderspooner.org/works/ http://www.lysanderspooner.org/s/NO-TREASONn6.pdf http://www.lysanderspooner.org/s/NATURAL-LAW.pdf ------ Gustave de Molinari - An economist/liberal who proposed to get rid of the state in 1849. http://panarchy.org/molinari/molinari.html (1849) De la production de la sécurité [Français] http://panarchy.org/molinari/securite.html (1849) On the Production of Security [English] http://panarchy.org/molinari/security.html (1849) The Evenings of the rue Saint-Lazare - Eleventh Evening [English] http://panarchy.org/molinari/eleven.html Whole book in french : Les Soirées de la rue Saint-Lazare Entretiens sur les lois économiques et défense de la propriété http://herve.dequengo.free.fr/Molinari/Molinari.htm http://herve.dequengo.free.fr/Molinari/SRSL/SRSL_0.htm ------ Voluntary socialism; a sketch Tandy, Francis Dashwood https://archive.org/details/voluntarysociali00tandrich That one is interesting because what Tandy calls 'voluntary socialism' is rather close to what today is called 'market anarchism'. In Tandy's 'socialism' there are private firms whose job is to defend person and property...which is pure blasphemy for ordinary commies. ------ Another interesting economist/liberal, Thomas Hodgskin - The Natural and Artificial Right of Property Contrasted [1832] http://oll.libertyfund.org/titles/hodgskin-the-natural-and-artificial-right-... (I'm not sure if Hodgskin strictly belongs to the anarchist category. I had some quotes that suggested so, but I can't find them now. Anyway he's pretty radical and was plagiarized by marx) ------ If more authors come to mind, I'll add them.
Or a guide "Advanced Anarchism for Dummies". I know only the baby steps, sorry. :(
I asked Steve some suggestions in private, but it's better to ask publicly, so more people can profit the clues. Oh, you know, he loves books, uses cute emoticons and makes oink oink. He's a good reference for me, hahaha!! ;)
Tender kisses for all of you! <3
