Recs if you like News from Nowhere...

When you think of Anarchy, you may think of chaos, lawlessness, or just a white dude in a ski-mask tossing molotov cocktails. But that’s not what anarchy is. That’s the propaganda. Anarchy is a political philosophy based in the abolition of the state, in horizontal rather than hierarchical power, in mutual aid, and networks of care. When I learned how much I didn’t know about anarchy it blew my mind. Anarchists have been at the core of so much of modern history, and I want to share it with you.

Based on the list/book published in 2006, general editor Peter Boxall.

Someone made a post about this and I thought it was a great list idea. I know I really need books that have more positivity and hope for the future, so hopefully this will help someone else too.

Let me know if I get anything wrong. Please comment recommendations!

A list I want suggestions for please! Friday khalo was a communist against capitalism now her face is used to sell tat. A list of people and authors who have had their radical history changed or have been misinterpreted by the right wing to try and get them on their side (fascists keep trying to steal Tolkien and I won’t have it) I will try and give brief reasons in the comments for each inclusion
