Would you say that is a good book to start with if Im kind of clueless about Anarchism. I have only surface level knowledge.

IDK I'm just saying read history not "anarchist theory" if you WANT ANARCHY read abt the development of bureaucracies before capitalism to manage capital and shit. Desert and all that other stuff read is really lackluster (to put it very generously). Read Braudel & Samir Amin type shit. Not just like, speculative anthropology

Graeber is an anarchist, he wrote that book bc he went to a Mike Hudson conference he did to get people into early monetary theory. It's alright, there are better books on that stuff.

I recommend reading about the development of anarchist and communism in the 1800s but I'm not great on that just the early 1900s, I've been reading about the 2nd international and pre marx socialist goofballs etc.

Thank you. Any input is welcome. I'm still learning and trying to form something of a coherent worldview beyond seeing America as the Great Satan...which is a start, but you gotta grow at some point.

Yep. Initially I had nothing to work with other than

  • us commits war crimes

  • wealth inequality bad

  • please stop looking at my computer to find out about me

I'll write more later abt why I think studying the formation of tributary modes of production and capitalism are important for achieving anarchism, actually, is it alright if I bookmark your user page?

Sure take your time. Didnt even know you could bookmark user pages. (not sure if I understand what you mean by that)

It's not much less ridiculous than like asking to save someone's meme but I meant Safari Reading List 🥳

[–] Comp4@hexbear.net 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ah ok. No problem. Thanks for taking time out of your day/night for me.

[–] voight@hexbear.net 3 points 8 months ago

Lol thanks for helping me pass the time, nobody out here knows I am spreading extremism online. I need to be like sitting down with notebooks or I have a tiny stegosaurus brain I'm like a Titanfall pilot
