Brady and Artxmis talk about anarchism and violence. They seek to begin to answer or bring forth discussion about the following questions: What is the relationship between anarchism and violence? Is violence an innate part of the anarchist milieu? Is it a corruption of anarchist ethics? Or is it more difficult than this? (As a reminder, we don’t support violence.)
Stay tuned for a more historical examination of the role of violence in and around anarchist struggles, which was the original aim of this episode until just before recording.
Artxmis’ recommended readings:
“Lessons of the Spanish Revolution” by Vernon Richards
Any writings by the CCF (Greece) and FAI (Italy)
“Prison Memoirs of an Anarchist” by Alexander Berkman
“Haymarket Tragedy” by Paul Avrich
“Days of Rage” by Bryan Burrough
“Anarchist Inquisition” by Mark Bray
“Facing Toward the Dawn” by Richard Lenzi (reviewed on Uncivilized)
“Anarchism and Violence” by Osvaldo Bayer
“Death to Bourgeois Society” Mitchell Abador (Strongest recommendation!)
“Anarchism and Violence” by Margert Killjoy (One I am really split on but speaks to where most anarchists probably fall concerning the issue)
