An investigation of a divisive and often misunderstood ideology. What do anarchists stand for? In this clear and penetrating study, Ruth Kinna goes directly to the heart of this controversial ideology, explaining the influences that have shaped anarchism and the different tactics and strategies that have been used by anarchists throughout history to achieve their ends. Kinna covers themes both historical and acutely contemporary, including: Could anarchy ever really be a viable alternative to the state?

What did you love best about Anarchism: Bolinda Beginner Guides?
It set out to be an introductory book and I found it succeeded well. If you want to have Anarchism 101 this is a great place to start.
What other book might you compare Anarchism: Bolinda Beginner Guides to and why?
Understanding Power by Noam Chomsky, and Two Cheer's of Anarchism by James C. Scott are excellent companions, and I would suggest them in that order.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 601
On Anarchism provides the reasoning behind Noam Chomsky's fearless lifelong questioning of the legitimacy of entrenched power. In these essays, Chomsky redeems one of the most maligned ideologies, anarchism, and places it at the foundation of his political thinking. Chomsky's anarchism is distinctly optimistic and egalitarian. Moreover, it is a living, evolving tradition that is situated in a historical lineage; Chomsky's anarchism emphasizes the power of collective, rather than individualist, action.

Get "Understanding Power" instead.
Revisado: 05-08-17
If you could give On Anarchism a new subtitle, what would it be?
Mostly Excerpts Understanding Power with some additional info on the Spanish revolution.
Any additional comments?
It's a good book, if short, but understanding power does a such a better job of explaining the context of modern anarchism and still describes anarchism in a suitable manner.

A major new collection from "arguably the most important intellectual alive" ( The New York Times). Noam Chomsky is universally accepted as one of the preeminent public intellectuals of the modern era. Over the past thirty years, broadly diverse audiences have gathered to attend his sold-out lectures. Now, in Understanding Power, Peter Mitchell and John Schoeffel have assembled the best of Chomsky's recent talks on the past, present, and future of the politics of power.

Understanding Power Indeed
Revisado: 03-09-17
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Absolutely, in fact I already have several times. If you feel you need help understanding power, how the media plays people and how the USA control the world this book is illuminating. Better yet it's accessible, and if you need to check it's sources you can readily though it's website.
What about Robin Bloodworth’s performance did you like?
He gets how Noam talks I think, and really gets the points across. I rather enjoy listening to him, so much so I have been listening to the book a second time barely a week later which is unheard of for me.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Absolutely, but it's so dense your best to take breaks so you can content with the material.
Any additional comments?
After listening to Understanding power, I recommend Dictators hand book as a companion. and I do suggest them in that order as Understanding power really informs on the hypothesis presented in The Dictator's Handbook.
Possible the best book I've read in years and certainty the best political book I've ever read.

Stephen Leeds, AKA 'Legion,' is a man whose unique mental condition allows him to generate a multitude of personae: hallucinatory entities with a wide variety of personal characteristics and a vast array of highly specialized skills. As the story begins, Leeds and his 'aspects' are drawn into the search for the missing Balubal Razon, inventor of a camera whose astonishing properties could alter our understanding of human history and change the very structure of society.

The macguffin was a little silly, but other wise an interesting and enjoyable story, being free certainty didn't hurt either.
