General discussion

Description

A general discussion of texts from The Anarchist Library.

What books should I check out as someone who is new to anarchism, and theory overall?

I’ve recently been getting into philosophy, as well as political theory, and on many topics, I’ve been able to find good lists of starting points for reading, I’ve found no such thing for anarchy, I’m especially interested in anarchist-communism. What would be some good books to start with?

How to become more educated in Anarchy and understand better

I've recently started reading Now and Than by Alexander Berkman and I haven't gotten to far into it but it makes a lot of sense to me. But I don't want to seem uneducated when I talk about Anarchy what are things I can do to help me understand how to talk to people about Anarchy? My first assumption is to read more Anarchist literature and I do intend to do that I just am a slow reader and get burnt out easily but that wont stop me. Is there more things I can do? Discuss on different Anarchist forums?

Replacing An Existing Text

Someone kindly uploaded several articles I wrote, and I'm happy they did.

https://theanarchistlibrary.org/category/author/peaceful-revolutionary

However, I think the article series would be better in one document (as they are in the zine version).

The reader wouldn't need to go to different texts they may not be aware of to read them in order then.

How would I go about remedying this?

Cheers!

Can anyone submit to the library

I saw a guideline "we are not a self-publishing"... but at the same time works must appear the first time somewhere? Can anyone just write up any reasonably well written piece of anarchist (or anarchist-related) literature and have it hosted here? Does the anarchist library website then do anything to further publicise new works so potential readers might see them? Thanks
