I decided to make a blog post out of it in case someone else might find it useful.<br />http://anarchydice.blogspot.com/2014/10/an-introduction-to-anarchy.html<br /><br />I actually don’t remember why I followed Art of Not Being Governed, that blog has not show up in my blogger reading list for a while. Reading some of the recent posts, I completely agree with you about them being uneven. At the very least, they are not very helpful to engage someone who doesn't already subscribe to anarchism.AnarchyDicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00098113863647319878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159574867392056427.post-28534548911183511342014-10-06T14:23:50.829-05:002014-10-06T14:23:50.829-05:00My opinions are largely unformed in this regard. I...My opinions are largely unformed in this regard. I've read the wikipedia article. I've come into passing contact with anarchism through studying the Spanish civil war and the previous unrest in Barcelona (though a lot of this has to do with illegalism) and the various anarchist organizations involved there... I once met some anarchists from Baltimore who assured me that, if I were an anarchist, I would almost certainly be a collectivist. I recently read Ursula K. LeGuin's book <i>The Disposessed</i> that deals with an anarchist society in space.<br /><br />I also saw the Art of Not Being Governed in your blogroll and went over there for a look. I found it intriguing, if somewhat uneven. (Today's post, for instance, seemed absurdly propagandist for an article arguing against statism).<br /><br />Other than that, pretty much tabula rasa. Just looking for a starting point.<br /><br />Thanks! iemattiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01381883306896753352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159574867392056427.post-20307635400290272872014-10-05T20:20:07.512-05:002014-10-05T20:20:07.512-05:00So I was starting to look over things I had read i...So I was starting to look over things I had read in the past to come up with a list of links to send you to, and then I realized that doing so would mean that I would have ignored what I just wrote in this post.<br /><br />What have your read or heard about anarchy philosophy before? (So I don't waste your time linking you things you have read before)<br /><br />What would, in your opinion/ethics, be the ideal purpose or function for a government?AnarchyDicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00098113863647319878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159574867392056427.post-10565924808945963512014-10-03T22:49:19.376-05:002014-10-03T22:49:19.376-05:00Hey, man.

What would you recommend as some good philosophy to get into for someone looking to learn more about theories of anarchism?iemattiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01381883306896753352noreply@blogger.com
