Looking for slightly more in depth theory/reading material on mutual aid networks, I would also be happy to have some more material on anarchism as an idea (self.anarchism)

Hi! In the past I've only read some extremely basic theory on anarchism, I haven't really had time to go more in depth, but recently I've had more time on my hands and am looking to get more educated, currently the only books I have on my list are "The Conquest of Bread" and "Anarchy Works", and I'm looking for anything else that I should read.

Audiobooks are also greatly appreciated!

Thank you! I take frequent breaks from social media, so I may not respond in the day, but I do greatly appreciate any recommendations.

You're very welcome! I got Novatore's complete works not long ago, he really had a gift. Beautifully talented poet and certified badass.

I hope you enjoy the rabbit hole of anarchism :) when I "discovered" it for myself years ago, I immediately knew I was in the right place. "You mean other people have been thinking like I do for centuries? I'm in."

Hi, I realize that its been almost 2 weeks, and I'm sorry for necroing this thread, but I just have to thank you again for the recommendation, Renzo Novatore writes like a poet. It is so incredibly validating to see someone who is clearly well educated advocating for many of my own beliefs in well written prose even a hundred years ago, its like, if this idea can occur to this clearly smart person even ages ago and in an entirely different country, surely I'm not so crazy for feeling that way.

I especially love how he defines a person as neither being social or anti-social by nature!

Thank you!

That's great! I'm happy to have helped :) tbh that's how I felt when I first started reading anarchist lit too.

You're welcome friend :)
