  • i started reading about anarchism at a very early age (14, 15?) after encountering a 2 page description of Nietzsche, Nihilism and Anarchism in an encyclopedia. I wasn’t in uni yet and back then only universities had internet connection, so i had to find books.

    From Proudhon to Anarcho-Communists to Stirner to even Anarcho-Capitalists(!) i’ve read all. Add some Dadaism and later Situationists (and after more time their inheritors Tiqqun). I thought I’ve met Bookchin’s ideas late but apparently I’ve met him early through Ursula K. Le Guin (who wrote a wonderful fiction about an anarchist diaspora settling on the moon of a planet).

    Not to forget thinkers/philosophers/poets (like Guattari for example, among many others) who wrote the most liberating lines without any anarchist consideration in mind.

    I can’t recommend books but a method: Find books that interest you and follow the citations upstream towards other books (or downstream towards their spawns or inheritors).

    Now that we have Wikipedia, we’re lucky to click/touch through articles and get books downloaded or delivered to our doors (if we’re lucky to have doors).

    Good luck to you.


  • The woman is tempted by a talking serpent to eat the forbidden fruit, and gives some to the man, who eats also. (Contrary to popular myth she does not beguile the man, who appears to have been present at the encounter with the serpent). God punishes the man with a lifetime of hard labor followed by death, the woman with the pain of childbirth and subordination to her husband, and curses the serpent to crawl on its belly and endure enmity with both man and woman.
