Just finished reading “Anarchists Never Surrender” by Victor Serge, and it’s a very interesting little book. Serge is a fascinating guy, an anarchist individualist turned Bolshevik turned Trotskyist turned libertarian socialist, he feels very relatable and maddening in equal parts.

Two Texts for Defining the Communist Programme, by L.L. Men. I had already cased the text block in, which made the foil detailing hard, but I love these end papers and I had a lot of fun with this project!

Life And Ideas is a great synthesis piece: Vernon Richards pulls together a fantastic sample of his writing and combines it with a biographical sketch. For folks who don’t the full reader, this is the gold standard.

At the Cafe is a dialogue written to help explain anarchism to the curious. It’s really engaging and fun to read this kind of text, which was a fun method of making these ideas accessible to a broader audience.

With the great new text Means and Ends by Zoe Baker providing a fantastic systematic analysis of anarchist strategy, now is the perfect time to dip your toes into the work of Errico Malatesta. Here are three of my favorite texts about him: At the Cafe by The Method of Freedom Life and Ideas

Anarchism is a territory of pleasure... The origin of the word anarchy, an-arch in Greek, literally means “without principle”. It implies a liberation from mastery and control that once again is extremely pleasurable. Risky but pleasurable. Pleasurable because risky. Catherine Malabou
