ITEM OVERVIEW
Everything you wanted to know about anarchism. A new, revised, and updated edition of the definitive pocket primer on anarchism. From the historical background and justification of anarchism to the class struggle, organization, and the role of the anarchist in authoritarian society, this slim tome walks the reader through both theory and practice. The book concludes with a set of questions and objections from a variety of political positions: Leninist, Fascist, Social-Democrat, and the apolitical Chris on the corner. The perfect introduction for those who wish they were better informed, the mildly curious, and especially for those looking for a place to start their new anarchist life. Albert Meltzer is the author of I Couldn't Paint Golden Angels: Sixty Years of Commonplace Life and Anarchist Agitation. He was described by Emma Goldman as a "hooligan and rascal who knows nothing of anarchism." Judge for yourself.
