what "fun, creative, or unique" names would you have named the project or change it to?
"An anarchist library" is much more fitting, but it could have been anything: a made up word, a pun, a play on an ancient or widely-cherished library. Your screen name is Rocinante; something more quixotic would have been great! Even "Roc's Library" or "Aragorn!s Library" or "Bay-area Anarchos Library" would have been more fitting. I'll now explain why, although it seems you are aware of the criticism already. As some have mentioned, perhaps another name for the library could have been "An Anarchist Library" [...] Aragorn! (RIP) advertised the project as such (creating the biggest anarchist library) This is the most "un-anarchist" sounding project when put in these terms. Since when is an aim of anarchy the centralization of all things into a definitive, authoritative, single-source which aims to control the type of disparate and divergent material that it hosts? This would seem to me to be the antithesis of the anarchist ethos, which is why I find the name "THE Anarchist Library" heretical and preposterous. "The Marxist Library"? Sure. "The National-Socialist Library"? Why not. But if anarchy is to be anything, it's not "the" anarchy.
