Oh my gosh thank you so much for making Anarchist literature accessible. My ADHD makes focusing enough to get through most works incredibly difficult, and it usually takes about a week to get through 100 pages. This cuts the time down significantly for me, and I'm sure it's helping others in similar ways. Seriously, thank you so much for what you're doing!

From a veteran with PTSD who gets anxiety sitting and reading physical books, thank you for making all this content accessible.

This is the most important book I have ever read as of my entire life: (At least at the moment) No other book has radically pushed an opinion of mine so far. Thank you for this reading; I repeat it leisurely! :D

Last night on Twitter, two people told me that a revolution against the tyrannical must be handled lawfully and peacefully or I'll become like the government itself. I simply told those peaceful noncompliant protesters that they themselves are the problem letting the government free to do what it wants.

How About a national wide strike. This would bring this country to knees, make it ungovernable and remove by any means necessary. The criminals I in White House

There are some interesting points here but as weapons modernize and the state gains central control over communications and information those points are less relevant. If the state let's you keep communicating through some offensive action it will only be to pinpoint your locations or to pre gather postmortem justifications for killing you. We've already crossed the point where the state's built-in advantage in violence is too great to even consider challenging, mainly due to its intelligence prowess.

I like that made this audio but compared to my book you jump from like different pages so you went from page 21 to page 24 and then from page 29 back to page 21 very jumpy

What's up with "bombers could reach" concentration camps?

[austinsowers]

The problem with anarchism is it doesn’t have an end game. It has no way of creating a society that flourishes and is short sighted in basic models of things such as energy, sustainability, and nuclear fusion.

It’s a good tool for balance though.

it feels likw this person has no idea what nonviolence means
