I guess I fall off when we talk about communism or anarchism outside of being a concept. That's just me and not some snark. I'm not a very good student and I also feel like the curriculum was light on both those subjects.

I just said to someone else perhaps I should have more patience because I too grew up propagandized against both anarchism and communism.

Best books about anarcho-communism are perhaps those by Kropotkin. People often recommend the Conquest of Bread, perhaps his most famous book. Personally, I find Mutual Aid to be a better introduction.

For anarchism in general, Anarchy Works is fantastic. Very accessible, too.

BTW both books can be taken in small bits. Just reading the introductory chapters will tell you a lot.

There's also a YouTube channel called Audible Anarchist, if reading is hard or if you just prefer audio. I listen to it while I'm out for a walk or a longboarding session.

Edit: Emma Goldman's essays, too.
