A general discussion of texts from The Anarchist Library.
egoism - anarchism vs archism
Forums
hey. has anyone come across any articles from an "egoist" standpoint arguing why one has no reason to dominate others (or that dominating others leads to bad consequences, etc)? i'm asking this because i recently read sidney parker's "archists, anarchists, and egoists" - https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/sidney-e-parker-archists-anarch… - where sidney lays out that any egoist has a good reason to dominate if they perceive it to be advantageous.

Speciest text on the site
Forums
I am very confused by the inclusion of the following text on the site: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/johann-most-the-vegetarian?v=17…
Certainly speciesm is one of the forms of hierarchy/oppression we should be fighting.
Without context or a discussion, this text could convince people new to the ideology that veganism really is bad for workers, which is complete nonsense.
The arguments in the text are both weak and outdated. So why even post it?
Anarchist Recommendations?
Forums
Me and some comrades are squatting a building and we want to make an anarchist library for people to learn about anarchist theory and methods of direct action, any recommendations?
If you had my background and interests, how would you pursue my goals differently?
Forums
Considering my interests include archiving books for T@L, I thought going into detail about some of my interests broadly might spark an interesting discussion on here.
criticism of mutual aid culture?
Forums
I struggled to find more than a few examples of this, and wondered if anyone had recommendations or search ideas or other things related to mutual aid problems?
Anarchist Perspectives on BDSM
Forums
Hey friends I am trying to learn more about the history of the old guard in BDSM. I was wondering if there are any anarchist perspectives or critiques of BDSM? Specifically when it comes to old guard, protocols and power exchange. If y'all know any resources I would appreciate it!
new .zim update?
Forums
Hey, so I am in a position where I could create and host an updated .zim files for the Anarchist library.
But before I got scraping and getting all the texts, is there any interest in this beyond my own?
