Space-collapsing and content-free praxis
Forums
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.
Racism?
Forums
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?

Just started reading "The New Freedom: Corporate Capitalism" by Fredy Perlman and might share some thoughts as I continue to dig into it.

Reader,
Egoism
Mussolini's "Egoist Anarchism"
Forums
Reading Goliath: The March of Fascism. Was trying to learn a bit more about Mussolini's views on Stirner and the relationship between individualist anarchists and Italian fascists, but unfortunately got this endless moralizing screed on T@L: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/william-gillis-from-stirner-to-…
Anyone know more about the background, with sources worth reading?
CLODO
Forums
What did you all think of the CLODO texts? I really enjoyed them but haven't gotten around to really sitting and articulating and testing what I think, yet. How about you, anons?
