The Anarchist Library is a great online resource of anarchist articles and books that give a great overview of anarchist thought and practice.
From the website:
“theanarchistlibrary.org is (despite its name) an archive focusing on anarchism, anarchist texts, and texts of interest for anarchists.
Within the scope of our use of the term “anarchism” we have been quite broad, but broad does not mean infinite, and basically shrinks down to a set of ideas against the State and the capital. This immediately rules out the so-called “anarcho-capitalism”, “anarcho-nationalism” and similar crap.
What is so special about this site?
Often, you may find the texts hosted here on other sites that also aim to be digital libraries, and often the texts are taken from them (the source is always listed). But this library provides (together with the on-line version of each text) one or more high quality PDFs in various sizes and and formats, as well as its plain text sources, and an EPUB version for mobile platforms. We actively encourage the DIY printing and the distribution of the texts, so you have the “imposed” version for Letter paper (USA) and A4 (rest of the world): just print double side, fold and clip, and the booklet is ready.”
This is a great resource.
Anarchist ideas and practice have a great influence on Permanent Culture Now, they also cross over considerably with the permaculture ethics of earth care, people care and fair shares. Anarchism and anarchists are often portrayed as bomb throwing, troublemakers who smash stuff up, yet this could not be further from the truth as anarchism is actually a highly organised form of organising society based on mutual aid, non hierarchical structures, responsibility and care for others. Again this is another aspect where it crosses over with permaculture in that it stresses care for others as well as sustainability and equality. This challenge to the current structure of society that is based on inequality and growth at all costs, explains why as an idea it is so demonised in the press.
