Am I a bad anarchist because I can't seem to get myself to want to read classic anarchist texts? Proudhon, Kropotkin, etc. Am I missing out on a bunch of awesome, stimulating discourse around these works? Maybe. Is my praxis suffering? I doubt it. Unless I'm counting discourse as part of my praxis, which I should?
Do I really need to read stuff published more than 100 years ago? If so, what?
