Well thank you too. To be fair ii’m really unfamiliar with political philosophy or social sciences. I have some high-level understanding of some concepts (autonomy, kyriarchy/privilege, cultural hegemony, engineering of consent, private property, state terrorism, etc…) but i would certainly not consider myself a theorist. My step into anarchism was not books (at least at first), but comrades criticizing my ideas/practices and lending me a hand to open new doors through life (sometimes quite literally).

Reflecting upon it, i think that’s one of the main reason i never fell into marxism. Too much jargon and complicated language for me to understand some seemingly-simple things. I very rarely had the same feeling of inferiority (someone talking with all their knowledge) when reading anarchist content, which is usually either first-person accounts (blogs/zines) or uses very simple language (newspapers, popular education conferences).

And about the recommendations, they’re just few of the so many interesting reads you can find online or in your local cooperative library. I’m not advocating for these resources as the holy bible of anarchism, because we have no such thing as a holy bible. Countless persons have contributed to the great body of anarchist literature over the years and despite the fact i strongly disagree with some anarchist analysis (eg. the nihilists), i would be incapable to give you a single author/book that could be a complete introduction to my understanding of anarchism as a constant struggle against all forms of domination/exploitation. Anarchism i understand as a mental/social/practical toolkit to understand and dismantle power structures, not as a fixed set of goals (that’s a common difference between anarchists and marxists).
