Any good books explaining/about Anarchy? I want to hear some good arguments coming from anarchists, whether they be hidden in a story or directly explained.

>I want to hear some good arguments coming from anarchists
Good luck with that one
Yeah... that's what I thought. Is it that hopeless, though? Nothing intelligent in any book? It does seem like a shitty concept, but I'm curious and sceptic.
>I want to hear some good arguments coming from anarchists
Why would you want good arguments why 2+2=5?
Anarchism is entirely sophistry, at best the people arguing for it are delusional and in it because it seems "edgy" (Butterfly), at worst they genuinely believe what they say (but this is a tiny minority, even though many people lack basic cognitive abilities, most can at least deduce that anarchism is plainly retarded).
Kropotkin, the Conquest of Bread is what most anarchists will tell you to read. Definitely worth reading.
t. commie
imo it’s probably a twisted folly of the just world hypothesis.
Thanks, I will look forward to that
I can see where you're coming from, and though I hardly believe in karma or any shit like that, I guess that the state of the universe is always neutral, so perhaps society also follows a certain pattern regardless of what we try to do. And that's more plausible than karma.
I guess that 2+2=5 seems more interesting than 2+2=4 today, user. I know 2+2=4.
I was about to ask, kek
Thanks
anarchism is idealist nonsense, read marx
I agree, user, but I wanna read some shitpost on the side, if you will
The other thread is still up and it was shit, so why make another one?

If you want a little taste.
If you actually want to get into it and realize what you think about anarchism is all misrepresentations by authority, then No Gods, No Masters by Daniel Guerin is the best anthology.
Emma Goldman and Errico Malatesta are my two favorite anarchist writers. While I sympathize with the notion that anarchism can appear too idealistic, one has to at least acknowledge the beauty in the prose of someone like Goldman. The love of freedom and fraternity is too endearing.
For Goldman I would recommend her Anarchism and Other Essays. For Malatesta I can only really recommend AK Press's anthology The Method of Freedom, as almost all of his writings pamphlets that are under 30 pages long.
It's not because 1 is shit that 2 will be (sophism)
And thanks to the others, I can prove that I actually have some useful answers
Anarchism is an ideal. No man should have power over another because we are free beings created by God. Even God does not have compkete power (tyranny) over man because he gives us free will. Power is evil. However, this is not possible to achieve on Earth, since the material world is the domain of Satan. Anafchy is only achieved in the Kingdom of God.
Just spend a week in Somalia OP
Christianity is the complete opposite of anarchy. You best be trolling kneegr
Christian Anarchism is the only one that makes sense. Read Ellul.
are you retarded?
>implying thats not right wing libertarianism
Actual philosophical anarchism is highly organized. Read Homage to Catalonia
Christian Anarchism, while admirable in the christian tradition still fails to break a mans chains. Read God and the State.
It makes sense! People are endowed with their individual capacities for a reason. Don't you see yourself work harder (and smarter) when you are working voluntarily and for your own full benefit? The state is not necessary; rules are, to a degree, but those can be freely negotiated between community members. I obviously can't argue for this line of thought so well as these writers, and won't attempt to. Still, it continues to baffle me that people are so cucked out of their own agency. I get that it sucks to accept your position in the vice of dozens of different authorities, but at least that's a platform for freeing yourself and others!

left anarchism is all about no true scotsman
If you count Anarcho Primitivism (wich doesn't have much in common with original left wing anarchism), then the works of Ted Kaczynski. But Anprim is not without rulers or even hierarchy, so I doubt thats what you mean by Anarchism.
>Don't you see yourself work harder (and smarter) when you are working voluntarily and for your own full benefit?
Now that's just nonsense. For the vast, overwhelming majority of people, efforts must be directed and incentivized, at least in part, by an outside force.
Anprim on a global scale is the only way any anarchy can work today anyway, else enjoy getting steamrolled by the techno-liberal or techno-chinese propaganda/warfare apparatus.

Read Kropotokin, Bookchin, and Malatesta.
Libertarianism and its offshoots are the only logically consistent anarchistic ideologies. Read Rothbard, Nozick.
get a load of this guy
>be volkisch socialist
>ask anarchist friend to explain how anarchism works
>"there are no states"
>ok but how do you prevent nigger barbarian hordes from killing people
>"people organically organize and voluntaristically constitute communities for mutual defense against the nigger"
>what do you do if you voluntaristically found an organic commune and jews move into it and start usuring
>"the community can decide to evict them for being bad members of the community"
HEIL BAKUNIN!
