TLDR The way to be a practical anarchist is to work alone because working as a group only creates a new tyranny. The enemy is the fictional social structures themselves not the individuals representing the social structure. Therefore the way to free oneself is to subjugate the largest social structure money. By becoming rich the anarchist achieves his own level of freedom available within the social structure. To achieve freedom for all you must achieve freedom for oneself. To serve the self is to serve the all.

Great book 👏🤝

Read it yesterday

I read it years ago. I think about that book a lot lately.

It solidified the idea that freeing oneself is the goal. And by doing so you are being an example of a free society at an individual level. And that focusing on freeing others is only creating a “new tyranny” as he calls it in the book.
