Books like Anarchism and Its Aspirations by Cindy Milstein


From nineteenth-century newspaper publishers to the participants in the "battle of Seattle" and the recent Greek uprising, anarchists have been inspired by the ideal of a free society of free individuals-a world without hierarchy or domination. But what exactly would that look like, and how can we get there? Anarchism and Its Aspirations provides an accessible overview of an often-misunderstood political philosophy, highlighting its principles and practices as well as its reconstructive vision of a liberatory society.

The Impossibilities of Anarchism by 861371|George Bernard Shaw book cover

๐Ÿ“˜ The Impossibilities of Anarchism

George Bernard Shaw (1856โ€“1950) possessed magnificent wit and command of language which made him unsurpassed as a dramatist and literary critic; it also made him a formidable spokesman for socialism, to which for the best part of a century he devoted much of his great talent. After a relatively brief flirtation with anarchism, Shaw became one of the major figures in the Fabian Society, an organization of British intellectuals advocating moderate evolutionary socialism. In the first part (omitted here) of this essay, he criticizes individualist anarchism, as advocated by the American, Benjamin Tucker. His discussion of โ€œCommunismโ€ refers to a form of anarchism then called communist, with Peter Kropotkinโ€™s ideas the main example. By โ€œSocial-Democracyโ€ Shaw means democratic so-cialism, such as that urged by the Fabian Society.
