a publié une critique de Post-Scarcity Anarchism par Murray Bookchin

A very faint sketch

3 étoiles

This book is mostly concerned with the idea that technology CAN produce a post-scarcity society, but if you're expecting a clear picture of what that looks like or what it entails, you're going to be disappointed. I read the third edition which included "Listen, Marxist!" which includes a very valuable anarchist reading of the October Revolution and how power was consolidated.

When Bookchin is rattling off all of the things his enlightened anarchist society can cast off, a lot of it is feminine. It doesn't invalidate the book but it does highlight some of his limitations as a social thinker.

I grabbed this off The Anarchist Library and fixed all of the OCR errors that were made in its production as I read through so if you're looking for a nice digital edition, I can recommend it.

An amazing articulation of ideas

5 étoiles

This might be one of, if not the best books of it's kind I've ever read. Massive insight into social, ecological, technological, and philosophical concepts and and how they can play into liberatory fronts

It's not often you come across a book that fundamentally updates the way you think. This was the first of Bookchin's works that I have read, and will definitely be looking at more in the near future.
