I am wondering if The Anarchist Library has mirrors or at least mirror system. Mirroring would be very useful for number of reasons including having library accessible after main site would get shut down for some reason i.e hacker attack. It would also help with decentralization and it would offload main servers.

Hiii, I really appreciate what y'all do and I noticed in some of the texts that I've uploaded the formatting has changed from using br tags to newlines. These sorts of minor but repetitive changes made me wonder if there is anything else I can do to submit cleaner texts and reduce editing?

Hi, is this the right place for constructive critiques for a draft I'm working on?

I was thinking about how we could start reading groups here, or build trails of suggested readings together, but it led me to ask a broader question: how do we as anarchists prefigure our knowledge praxis?

I'm also interested in how that question can be inverted: how can we spread anarchist ideas out into our local communities? Softer, prefigurative approaches to anarchism resonate very strongly with community organising, even so far to see this as an apolitical or antipolitical practice.

What limits does this library place in racist content and why? Is it a free speech plaza that allows all racism in the name of Anarchism or does it have standards that mitigate harmful content?

I ask because even as an Anarchist there is an incredibly offensive piece on Indigenous people in the library. We are ok with that?

Eight communiques (plus a brief note) over three years from Mexico. Things would never be the same again.

Thoughts?
