#you will probably not find many sources if you don't include opinion pieces imo | Explore Tumblr posts and blogs

Hi! So i apologize preemptively if this seems like a silly or even nonsensical question, but im having a hard time getting into politics and more specifically finding more info regarding Anarchy.

It's been a subject I've been interested in for a while but never really branched out and looked further into bc everwhere I've looked, the info was always mushed into word vomit or it was someone giving their opinion regarding it.

Where could i learn more about it as a whole?

I haven't read anything from this site in a while, but I read a few essays from the Anarchist Library a while back. A few of those essays might be too opinionated, but that's kind of... the point of everything, if I'm honest (in addition to facts and statistics and whatnot). I'll recommend this site specifically because it is a bit more accessible for getting essays and also because you might find more specifics - I've read a few pieces years back on queer and trans anarchy, and found it helpful. Of course, some sources will be better than others, so exercise healthy questioning and interrogate whatever you do read.

Note that the hyperlink will take you to the front page of the Anarchist Library's website.

#ask #politics #anarchy #the way i see it anarchy is kind of an umbrella term #and people have specific intrest in groups for anarchy (e.g. queer anarchy)#so this is a very broad question to me. anarchy isn't just one thing #it often includes prison abolition and worker's rights and food rights and housing rights and a whole lot of other things #you will probably not find many sources if you don't include opinion pieces imo #opinion pieces can help you understand what you agree and don't agree with anarchist thought #i definitely understand wanting more hard facts though but don't necessarily write off opinion imo #it's honestly hard to get hard sources for anarchy only because it is broad and because we don't really live in the world anarchists want #we don't live in a world with widespread prison abolition so it can be hard to talk and conceptualize it only with hard facts #(though you absolutely can talk about how broken the prison system is *right now*)#(it's just that it *can* be hard to conceptualize how to radically change it)#obviously feel free to include anything else if y'all have your own sources. bonus if it is accessible and/or free 🫶👍#whatever update tumblr did has broken the hyperlink abilities 🙄🙄🙄#i edited it back in so hopefully it stays
