No better book on Anarchism, It's written with language anyone can understand, and after reading many people say, "Huh, I'm an anarchist, "
Forget that the term Anarchism has been demonized in the U, S. for the last century and pick up this book to find out what it is and if you're one, Alexander Berkman was a well known anarchist in the laterth and early part of theth century, He took part in a number of events, including an effort to assassinate a leading industrialist, After years in prison, he continued his activism, editing publications for instance,
This book is an example of his political views, He was hardly the most cerebral and talented of the writers in this movement, But he does address many key questions in his own voice, such as "Is anarchism violence" "What is anarchism" "Is anarchy possible" and so on,
If you want a brief introduction to Berkman's views, this will suffice nicely, Great propaganda.

درمان شر و بینظمی اختیار بیشتر است نه سرکوب. THIS IS THE BEST! Di sini Alexander Berkman menangkis anggapan miring tentang anarkisme, Wajar, selama ini anarkisme sering diasosiasikan dengan tindakan kekerasan, pengrusakan, bom molotov, dan tindakantindakan kriminal lainnya, Padahal itu namanya kriminalisme atau vandalisme, bukan anarkisme, Terutama media massa sering menggunakan kata anarkis sebagai padanan untuk aksi yang awutawutan, barbar, tidak teratur, uwuh, dan biang kerusuhan, Opini media massa itu kemudian dianggap sebagai kebenaran oleh masyarakat awam,
Anarkisme sebenarnya adalah pandangan politik dan filosofis yang menolak adanya pemerintah, Sebab, pemerintah merupakan biang keladi penindasan dan selalu membela kepentingan kelas borjuis, Seorang anarkis mengganggap masyarakat mampu mengatur dirinya sendiri dengan mengandalkan akal pikiran, Anarkisme menolak birokrasi dan lembaga serupa yang memiliki sifat memaksa atau melanggengkan ideologi kelas borjuis yang menindas,
Selain menangkis anggapan miring tentang anarkisme, Berkman juga menjelaskan ragam anarkisme, Macammacam anarkisme anarkosindikalis, anarkopasifis, anarkofeminis, anarkokapitalis, anarkoindividualis, dan lainlain,
Revolusi atau konfrontasi langsung tidak dapat dihindari dan mautidakmau merupakan jalan satusatunya menghilangkan kelas yang menindas itu, Jika serangan atau konfrontasi langsung terjadi, biasanya menyasar simbolsimbol kelaskelas penindas,
"We'll become civilised only when the struggle of classes is ended, "
Sementara industri tetap ada dengan model industri kecil dan rumahan, Prinsipprinsip kolektif dan menguntungkan antar pekerja menjadi yang utama, Ya, tentu saja tidak ada pemimpin atau bos di situ,
Apakah anarkisme dapat terwujud Dalam skala mikro, misalnya komunitas seni, pecinta alam, suporter bola, dan lainlain, prinsipprinsip anarkisme dapat diwujudkan, Saya masih kesulitan membayangkan negara hilang, Akan membutuhkan waktu yang sangat lama dan upaya yang besar untuk itu, misalnya membangun jaringan solidaritas antaranarkis seluruh dunia, Atau sesekali memanfaatkan peluang alias momentum gonjangganjing pemerintahan,
Buku ini sangat tepat menjadi pengantar untuk memahami anarkisme, Salam antifasis! Buku saki yang sangat praktis dibawa kemanamana sangat cocok untuk bacaan para pemula, Disini dikupas habis semua pertanyaan yang menuju ketidakmungkinan dalam penerapan anarkisme, Dan tentunya merupakan sudut pandang baru terhadap saya, bahwa anarkisme tidak seanarkis yg saya pikirkan sebelumnya, disini juga dibahas pendapat tentang marxisme melalui sudut pandang anarkis, I decided to read this book because I was a little bit curious about anarchism, In my ignorance about the theoretical foundations of this political ideology I believed it would be more dear to me than communism, which steps on individuality and tries to hide it under the rug.
In the
movie Le Jeune Karl Marx I remember seeing Marx mocking the anarchists, particularly Proudhon, who was one of the victims of Marx's many bullying acts in his book "The Poverty of Philosophy" which criticizes "The Philosophy of Poverty".
Reading this book on Anarchism I can only imagine how ruthless to it Marx could have been, given how full of logical fallacies and poor arguments it is.
Berkman explains that this is a book for the general public, not well versed in anarchist theory, but in fact it is written for someone not well versed in anything, because the language he uses is appropriate for ayear old and the explanations as condescending and simplistic.
In the first chapters the author lays down an economic theory of labor exploitation in the style of Marx and how capitalism is a crime, He explains how the whole society is built such that you do not question your surroundings, School, for example, is an institution that does not want you to learn anything, except that capitalism is good, He does not elaborate enough, leaving the reader the opportunity to publish a future magnum opus where it is proven that Darwin's evolution theory, Differential calculus and quantum mechanics are taught so that one does not understand that capitalism is a prison.
He also tries to make several statements about Economics which are plainly wrong and contradictory in themselves, which I liked because it made me see that after all Economics is not a hopeless science and there are things we actually know.
For a criticism of capitalism that actually makes you think your time would be better spent with the Frankfurt School,
There were some parts that seemed less bad like when he criticizes some particularities of the Russian Revolution, but throughout, he makes point that you cannot help but question.
For example, he says that statistics have proven thathours a day of work would be enough to keep humanity fed and comfortable, I have no idea whether this is true, but I do know that "statistics" hardly proves anything, and that this kind of calculation could not be done through statistics, only through mathematics and with a series of assumptions.
Reminds me of that story in which Euler tricked Diderot with a false mathematical proof that God existed, fortunately I do know more statistics than Diderot knew mathematics.
A lot of questions seem to be left out or simply dismissed by "people would not do this", when he tries to argue that after the revolution everyone would live in harmony.
Overall, this text made me understand better Marx's attitudes towards anarchists and what he called utopian socialists, because this is very unconvincing indeed, Perhaps, and I do believe that, there are better texts, which do not seem written by a highschooler,
I did get suspicious from the beginning when he argues that sociologists, philosophers and psychologists have been wasting their time writing tomes about what people want when it is plainly obvious.
I have always found alarming seeing people who did not appreciate and awed at the complexity and diversity of human experience, Beware when someone says that it is very simple to say what all humans want and then a ten words sentence follows, .
