Introduction to the movement/school of thought/philosophy (suggest me the foundational texts?)
Forums
I've been browsing this website since the past few days (I just found out about this website and the movement/philosophy as a whole, although I had a vague idea of what it was) read a few texts but mostly i feel like i need to have knowledge of the fundamental ideas and themes so that i can fully understand the texts here, can someone please suggest me (like a list maybe) texts that'll familiarize me with the basic concepts?

Deleting Duplicate Live Texts Job
Forums
This would be a boring job, but if anyone would be willing, I think I've identified a fair few duplicate texts that are live on the library. So, it would be good to compare them to each other, save the best one or the best aspects from both, and delete the other one.
Steps someone could use do to this could include:
Upstate Anarchist Book Fair report back
Forums
A brief, yet triumphant report back from the first annual Upstate New York Anarchist Book Fair[1].
Upstate?
It was organized by and held at the PM Press space with help from Riot Act Books. PM Press recently moved their warehouse to Binghamton, New York, which is a Leatherstocking city in the southern tier of what has come to be known as New York, along the lines of the Rust Belt, sitting just outside of the Burned Over District, in the lands of the Onondaga, as the rivers of the Susquehanna and Chenango meet in present day downtown Binghamton.

Has anyone read it?
Bookchin and Zionism
Forums
There's a lot of discourse on Bookchin in general, especially with his general split from anarchism in search of a new school of thought that better addresses the concerns of late stage capitalism, however I feel like Bookchin's early Zionist thought gets overlooked. I feel like it's useful to properly dissect Bookchin's Zionism and reflect how that might have influenced some problematic parts of his work.
