A real democratic society is impossible in a world without mass market paperbacks, or at least their equivalent.

Cheeky lil Christmas bookstore haul

I sympathize with Serge a lot, based off this book. He was committed. He tried to blend Marxism & anarchism as do all my favorites from both traditions. He was a bold intractable militant & bandit & guard of his own soul. It’s a shame that he hitched his wagon to a force that could only destroy him.

He spent the Revolution trashing every anti-Bolsh anarchist group only to be fed to the same terrible machine he saw so many of his former friends get mulched by. His attempt to bind to the trots fared no better. He left anarchism only to find there was no room in the House of Lenin for anarchists.

210

As a leninist anarchist, I think he’s really a tragic figure. He clearly felt strongly that a political home was found, and he tried to show how Ⓐ could find its place in the Party, could mature past its failings. His case would have been more compelling if he wasn’t proven incorrect at every turn

100

I’m not surprised that it was hard to maintain those old commitments through prison, but as with many of the Leninists who claim an anarchist phase, he didn’t strike me as a particularly rigorous or theoretically grounded anarchist. He was motivated by elan, & elan is hard to maintain in the clink.

100

Early Serge strikes me as having many of the weaknesses (and, to be fair, the strengths) of the individualists for me. Great at asking important questions, light on satisfying answers, more poetry than politics. A hothead’s hothead.

100

The chronological path through his writings on anarchism shows him go from an illegalist bashing the anarchist-communists, to prison, cut off from everyone, to a leninist bashing the anarchist-communists.

100

He’s got a voice, so I’m definitely interested in reading his novels, but he’s kind of representative of two types on the left that both inspires and bugs me: the guy willing to go it alone and the guy who always thinks he knows better than everyone else.

100

Mac A. Roni @macaroni.bsky.social · 23/12/2024

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.

Serial Mom (1994) is genuinely a perfect movie

Maybe I’m an anarchist or something but it seems to me that if a man with a worm in his brain can get a job and ban half of the treats you like perhaps we’ve built a system that doesn’t actually work

The Spanish Revolution sometimes feels very far away, but I really believe it was a turning point for humanity. If we honestly believe that we can live without states or capitalism, the anarchists of Spain can teach us some of the most important lessons.

Guillamón’s book is about the defense committees in the CNT. Minutes from meetings, play by plays of events, this is a fantastic resource people who take revolutionary defense seriously. It shows us how these comrades struggled through questions we face today.

110

Evans’ book is a fantastic overview of the different opinions w/in the anarchist movement to the state & its reconstruction in the war. The tension among the different currents within the CNT-FAI, the debates, & the relationship with leadership are more relevant than ever.

110

Mintz’s text is one of the great references for the “how” of the anarchist economy. It’s remarkable for its appendices & the insight it provides into how people saw libertarian communism. It’s dry, but it is worth it if you want to study how to do communism.

100

Lessons by Richards is a phenomenal collection of short pieces examining the decisions, strategy, & ultimately failures of the CNT-FAI during the war. It’s a blistering critique of the “government anarchist” position, & a great example of how to take stock of historical failures.
