Notes on Anarchism

The fundamentals and guiding principles of Anarchist ideology in one pocket-sized booklet. It explains the benefits of viewing Anarchism as an evolving point of view rather than a fixed dogma as well as placing the ideology in historical context. Stemming from Chomsky's seminal essay first published in the 1973 collection For Reasons Of State. Unironically, decades later Chomsky proclaimed his views on this "evolving point of view" as, "My thinking on these matters has not changed in any essential respect."

This is a good introduction to anarchist philosophies and principles for the beginner or moderately educated person. Chomsky discusses (in his normal style of tangents) Syndicalism, Engels, property, historic examples, true forms and models of democracy and socialism, and so much more!
