Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!

Rules: 0. Post content that is thoughtful and relevant to social liberation from an anarchist, autonomous, antifascist perspective.

  1. Be respectful
  2. Don't be a nazi
  3. Argue about the point and not the person
  4. 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.

I'm digging anarchists' more hands on, pragmatic approach to politics. I finished The Conquest of Bread a couple of weeks ago and I'm currently working my way through Bullshit Jobs. Any suggestions about theory, praxis, mutual aid, etc. would be appreciated

I highly recommend "An Anarchist FAQ" :

https://www.anarchistfaq.org/afaq/index.html

This FAQ is what turned me to an Anarchist.

Awesome, thanks! Sounds a lot like what I've been looking for

Seconding this.

AFAQ gives overviews on topics with a lot of quoting from books and essays. It often notes that a book is 'essential reading' for a certain topic.

So it's not only an informative read in itself, it's a great source for people looking for reading recommendations.

I would recommend checking out The Anarchist Library!

A favorite of mine is Anarcho-syndicalism: Theory and Practice!

You may join local IWW, help with local food not bombs, go to some anarchist bookfair near you etc. About theory, there is a website called the anarchist library with a lot of books concerning anarchism for free!

God and the state is the one which I really love. There are lot of Alan Moore books as well which is anarchist in nature(V for vendetta etc) I also love Chomsky's books on anarchism. The one which I plan to read is James C Scott's https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/james-c-scott-two-cheers-for-anarchism
