Anarchist Book Group

This group has become officially dormant. It happens. If you want to revive this group, or create a new group on the same topic, see this page.

This is a group for anarchists to discuss books about anarchism and other books of interest.

According to wikipedia, Anarchism is a political philosophy encompassing theories and attitudes which reject compulsory government (the state) and support its elimination, due to a wider rejection of involuntary or permanent authority. Anarchism is defined by The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Politics as "a cluster of doctrines and attitudes centered on the belief that government is both harmful and unnecessary."

Henry David Thoreau says: "I heartily accept the motto, 'That government is best which governs least'; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe--'That government is best which governs not at all'; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which the will have."
