Oh hey. So I want some advice on introductory books to read about #anarchism. But, like, there's two ways to learn about something with a history and I definitely prefer one of them over the other. So... please read:
I'm asking, "Where are we?" You can either answer by describing where we started and describing the path we took to get where we are. Or you can answer by describing our current location on a map and the surroundings.
I'm interested in starting with the latter and getting into the history after I have a reasonable understanding of the current state, if that makes sense?
What should I read?
@benhamill i don't think i'm an anarchist as such these days (and when i did think i was an anarchist, i don't think i knew what i was talking about), but when i think about it as a tendency and a lens on things, i started with:
- kenneth rexroth
- paul goodman
- ursula k. le guin
- emma goldman
if i knew where i was at now, i'd tell you, but that was a kind of beginning for me.
@brennen Cool, yeah. The stuff I know sounds good, but I know that I don't know much, so I want more details.
