Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!
Rules:
- Be respectful
- Don't be a nazi
- Argue about the point and not the person
- This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your “epic dunks on the anarkiddies” is not. As a result of the instance’s poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren’t just looking to start a fight.

Hahaha. Sorry, I didn't realize I was replying to OP - I took that comment as being someone's suggestions to you. In that case I'm afraid I don't have much to offer. As I had said in my earlier comment my grasp on anarchist literature these days is a bit spotty (though I'm hoping to start freshening up on it, so I look forward to other replies.)
From what I recall, however, most anarchist writers seem to have an unfortunate tendency to lean more on theory than practice. Furthermore, a lot of the foundational stuff was written in the 19th century, so their practical suggestions are quite often not super applicable to the modern context.
All good! I have read some more modern texts from FARJ (an especifist org in Brazil), some stuff on zapatismo, and I have more modern texts on the back log. Stuff from Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin and a handful of queer anarchist theorists as well. There's a boatload of modern theory floating around out there, it's just time consuming to parse through. I also wanted to get "the classics" out of the way to have a good foundation and historical context to pull from when reading more modern work
Very cool! I'll have to find some time to read up on some more modern stuff. I vaguely remember one really good modern book from when I went back to finish a poli sci degree 5ish years ago, but unfortunately don't remember the name or author. If I manage to dig it up I'll let you know, as I recall it being quite informative.
