General discussion

Explain Deleuze to me and why it's relevant to anarchists.

Beginning with all the references made by anarchists found in this search result:

https://theanarchistlibrary.org/search?query=deleuze&sort=&filter_topic…

and then maybe going into the 3 text by him that are on the library:

"Flowers for the Individualist: Why Arguing with Egoists is Pointless" by Kevin Tucker | published February 9th, 2017 on the Kevin Tucker blog | Read text on the library here.

I had originally left this as a comment in the Ted K forum post, but have added it here after checking into the website today and seeing a rash of just terrible comments and forum posts.

Before people were complaining about Foucault, before people were complaining about Black Seed 6 (https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/various-authors-black-seed-issu…), before people were complaining about ITS (https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/individualists-tending-toward-t…), before people were complaining about all the things that people were complaining about that I missed, people

Thirteen years and counting... Time marches on...

Time and its Discontents was the first text ever uploaded to The Anarchist Library, sourced from the now defunct primitivism.com.

Steve Millett's essay, "Neither State Nor Market" is an important contribution to the question of social welfare.
