Something for everyone there, with novels, memoires, autobiography, graphic novels/cartoons, activist agitation, theoretical analyses, histories.... Good to see that anarcho-capitalism is largely absent (except for Anarchy, State and Utopia and possibly in Defence of Anarchism), though I am sure that otherwise on the list are flawed by a persistent liberalism.

Taking a broader view than just about item 7, there's some damned good books on that list

'Persistant liberalism' .... I imagine an Ideological Policeman licking a pencil ... such charges are as much in the eye of the accuser as in the actualite of the thing/person/book accused ...

I speak as someone falsely charged with such 'crimes', on Urban, myself

But let's no go there (for now) cos I have approx 15 minutes left here at most ...

In modern anarchism we have the confluence of the two great currents which during and since the French Revolution have found such characteristic expression in the intellectual life of Europe: Socialism and Liberalism.

Read Pat Stack's critique of Anarchism for a balanced view. It'll convince you straight away.

Fine tradition of anarchist good taste and discernment in beer!

Not drank that particular beer, but Jarrow have put out some fine other beers!
