Review of an essential book for understanding the CNT and the Spanish Revolution.

A review of a classic of French revolutionary syndicalism. Essential reading for anyone wanting to find out about its ideas on social change.

A review of the book Albert Parson produced while in prison awaiting execution after the Haymarket police riot of 1886. An essential introduction to the ideas of the Chicago Anarchists.

A review of a classic introduction to communist-anarchism by one of its leading militants.

A review of Rocker’s classic introduction to anarcho-syndicalist ideas and movements.

A defence of anarchist organisation (i.e., self-management) against Leninist claims that it is “undemocratic.” It shows that the logical position of this so-called critique is centralised rule by one person.

An Anarchist critique of two Trotskyist analyses of the Argetine revolt against neo-liberalism, showing their limitations and how they implicitly call for party rule.

An Anarchist analysis of the revolt against neo-liberalism in Argentina, with suggestions on how it could be turned into a genuine social revolution rather than a mere revolt.

A few comments on the winner of the 2006 so-called Nobel Prize for economics. A more obvious example of economics as ideology for the ruling class is hard to find!

One anarchist’s account of attending the British SWP’s Marxism 2001 event. Not a very pleasant experience, but it says a lot about the state of the British left and the politics of Leninism.
