General discussion

Description

A general discussion of texts from The Anarchist Library.

egoism - anarchism vs archism

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

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The arguments in the text are both weak and outdated.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?

Two anarchy-related archives have reached their two-year anniversary!

This announcement was just posted to The Library of Unconventional Lives:

2 Year Anniversary Announcement

As this project comes to its second anniversary, we have to acknowledge collaborators and views on this project haven’t been as forthcoming as we hoped.
