Description
An introduction to anarchism, its history and current challenges. Normand Baillargeon explores the complexities of anarchism, defining it and recounting its long history. He examines the differences between various strands of thought, including collectivism, federalism, communism, syndicalism, anarcho-feminism, pacifist anarchism, and religious anarchism. Through sharp examples and concise language, Baillargeon describes key figures and events that have shaped anarchist theory and practice. He discusses the International Workingmen's Association, Haymarket, the Russian Revolution, and May 1968, among others, to reveal the core principles of anarchism: a rational refusal of illegitimate authority and power. This informative primer provides a nuanced understanding of anarchism, its challenges, and its ongoing relevance today.
