Nice, I love that.

Most of the anarchist literature I've read has been in the ancap vein, with the exception of Bookchin, Chomsky, and Graeber who are all too far left for my taste.

On the flip side, the transactional nature of ancap ideology seems totally soulless to me. For example, Rothbard siding against farmers in favor of the banks reposessing their land left an awful taste in my mouth.

Can you think of any particular books or authors worth checking out that provide a decent balance?

You may find Guy Debord "Society of the Spectacle" an interesting take on modern commodification. The Situationist perspective is a modern Hegelian critique of the soulessness of capitalism and a challenge to the Stalinist state vs daily choices of a council.

Nice, thanks for the recommendation. I will give that a read.

Guy is the strategist that I think bridges the gap between classic and modern understanding of these concepts in many ways.

I had a good response that got ate from me not having a good connection, But Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Peter Kropotkin, and rudolf rocker all have interesting takes

Nice, three new names for me. I will check them out.

This is the renaissance 🤙
