Anarchism is hard for some people to differentiate from nihilism.

I agree.

Try reading Lysander Spooner, Benjamin Tucker, Ludwig von Mises and, most especially, Murray Rothbard. Maybe a bit of David Friedman, too.

Once you've made your way through their works, you can call yourself educated in anarchism.

Ignore Emma Goldman, the various Russian anarchist, the anarcho-syndicalists, etc. - they aren't serious.

Are you serious? Von MISES? How would you distinguish between Anarchism and Libertarianism (and nihilism)? -- eden
