The Practical Anarchist brings to light the work of Josiah Warren, eccentric American genius. Devoting his life to showing the practicality of an astonishing ideal, Warren devoted equal industry to the question of how to make a pair of shoes and how to remake the social world into an individualist paradise.This will be the first chance for many readers to encounter Warren’s writings, and in many cases their first publication since their original appearance in obscure, self-published periodicals, including The Peaceful Revolutionist (1833), the first American anarchist periodical. Moreover, they often appeared in a bizarre experimental typography.This volume presents, out of the welter of bewildering writings left by Warren, a reading text designed for today’ readers and students. It seeks to convey the practical value of many of Warren’s ideas, their continuing relevance.

Angelic Troublemakers is the first detailed account of what happens when religious ethics, political philosophy, and the anarchist spirit intermingle. Wiley deftly captures the ideals that inspired three revered heroes of nonviolent disobedience-Henry Thoreau, Dorothy Day, and Bayard Rustin. Resistance to slavery, empire, and capital is a way of life, a transnational tradition of thought and action. This book is a must read for anyone interested in religion, ethics, politics, or law.

Opponents of states and capital must be prepared to defend ourselves. To understand the nature of the state is to know that it will attack to kill when and where it feels a threat to its authority and power. But the struggles against exploitation, oppression, and repression must also move to the offensive. With the emboldening of reactionary forces on the far Right, there has been a renewed focus on issues of community self-defense, not only against the violence of the state but against organized fascists and Right-wing vigilantes alike. There has also been a developing seriousness, particularly among anarchist and antifascist, or antifa, activists. The goal of all anarchism is not to eliminate violence in social struggle (a futile and impossible pursuit given the nature of the state), but to limit the amount, degree, and extent of violence and harm inflicted by state agents, and their vigilante supporters, on the poor, oppressed, and exploited. And this is part of the emphasis on insurrectionary infrastructures. Non-material (emotional) and material resources and spaces are necessary to defend communities and workplaces under attack, but also to organize possible, and necessary, offensives. Insurrectionary Infrastructures reflects on strategies and tactics of rebellion and resistance and offers suggestions for fighting to win.

Écrivains improvisés promis à un oubli immédiat, jeunes débutants à l'avenir brillant ou plumes rôdées ayant déjà fait leurs preuves dans les revues qui comptent, prêtées un moment à la cause de la révolution sociale ; polygraphes frénétiques, paisibles philosophes entichés de fiction et marginaux colériques avec des comptes à régler ; idéalistes purs confiants dans la bonté fondamentale de la nature humaine et propagandistes désabusés persuadés qu'il n'est guère besoin d'espérer pour entreprendre. Ils se retrouvent tous sur les pages des myriades de feuilles militantes produites par le mouvement anarchiste à cheval entre le dix-neuvième et le vingtième siècle, et ils contribuent à former un ensemble bigarré où tous les styles et tous les genres sont appelés à hâter la venue prochaine du « grand soir » de la révolution sociale. Symbolisme, naturalisme, réalisme neutre et distant, ou alors misérabilisme populaire et appel sentimental aux pulsions profondes du cœur humain : la littérature sous tous ses aspects se prête à la mise en forme du message libertaire à travers une floraison de textes, des plus naïfs aux plus élaborés, épicés de mélancolie, d'indignation, de rage parfois, mais aussi souvent imbus de sarcasme vengeur ou d'un humour rafraîchissant.

"Increasingly, politicians and policymakers insist that the market is an immovable force that constraints their ability to act. At the same time, states strive to retain their sovereignty while claiming to be part of a global system. This dichotomy reveals a dominant contemporary ideology: the concealment of the state.This accessible book draws upon the anarchist criticism of the state to show the ideological and functional logic behind such concealment. It explains how states hide their ability to act by separating politics into a deep and shallow state, where political actors in the shallow state are free from policy formulation and implementation, which rests with the deep state. For example, American politicians deny global warming as the Pentagon plans to open new Arctic sea routes. Such transfer of policy to a less visible state is demonstrated through concrete international policy examples, including environmental regulations, budget recommendations, workplace safety, scientific investment, transportation planning, and education. The anarchist tradition shows how this concealment can be exposed so that popular political activity can challenge it more effectively."-- "Increasingly, politicians and policymakers insist that the market is an immovable force that constraints their ability to act.
