ANARCHO-SYNDICALISM: THEORY AND PRACTICE Rudolf Rocker AK Press "The publication of Rudolf Rocker's Anarcho-Syndicalism is an event of much importance for people who are concerned with problems of liberty and justice. Rocker expresses throughout his faith in the capacity of ordinary people to construct for themselves a world suited to their inner needs, to create and participate in an advancing culture of liberation in free communities, to discover through their own thought and engagement the institutional arrangements that can best satisfy their deeply rooted striving for freedom, justice, compassion and solidarity, at a particular historical moment. This vision remains as inspiring as when it was written a half century ago, and no less valid as a stimulus to our thinking and our constructive action." —Noam Chomsky "[Rocker's] exposition of anarcho-syndicalism at the peak of its influence is both a precious document of its time and a valuable reminder in our time of the continuing importance of an essential element in the complex ideology of anarchism." —Nicolas Walter In 1937, at the behest of Emma Goldman, Rudolf Rocker (1873–1958) penned this political and philosophical masterpiece as an introduction to the ideals fueling the Spanish social revolution and resistance to capitalism the world over. Within, he offers an introduction to anarchist ideas, a history of the international workers movement, and an outline of the strategies and tactics embraced at the time (internationalism, federalism, anti-militarism, direct action, sabotage, and the General Strike). A prolific writer and speaker, Rocker was one of the most beloved and dedicated anarchists of his time. His other works include Nationalism and Culture, The Tragedy of Spain, Anarchism & Anarcho-Syndicalism and The London Years. This new AK edition includes an introduction from Noam Chomsky and a lengthy historical and biographical preface from Nicolas Walter. Pris: 90kr |

ARBETARRÅD OCH EKONOMIN I ETT SJÄLVFÖRVALTAT SAMHÄLLE Cornelius Castoriadis India Däck Bokcafé Förlag Cornelius Castoriadis klassiska text om arbetsplatsorganisering pekar på en av de viktigaste insikterna som kan drabba en. Nämligen att dagens samhälle är omöjligt. Med en enkel och krass blick på fabrikernas och samhällets organisation ser han kreativiteten, kraften och liven som slängs bort. Men istället för att slås ner börjar han skissa på framtiden. Arbetarråd och ekonomin i det självförvaltade samhället är en text om hur produktionen och där igenom samhället skulle kunna omorganiseras rättvist. Castoriadis utgår ifrån arbetarklassens erfarenhet av revolutioner underifrån för att försöka hitta en formel för hur självförvaltande arbetarråd skulle kunna vara grunden i ett nytt socialistiskt samhällssystem.

FRIHETLIG KOMMUNISM I PRAKTIKEN. Självförvaltning i Spanien 1936-1939 Britta Gröndahl Federativs Under inbördeskriget i Spanien 1936-1939 genomfördes omfattande kollektiviseringar av industri och jordbruk.

Hon spårar bakgrunden till detta experiment i självförvaltning i anarkisternas och syndikalisternas idédebatt under årtiondena före inbördeskriget. Pris: 50kr |

The Conquest of Bread Peter Kropotkin and Charles Weigl (Introduction by) AK Press The fourth in our 'Working Classics' series, this is Kropotkin's most extensive study of human needs and his outline of the most rational and equitable means of satisfying. The most important and widely read exposition of anarchist economic theory, its combination of detailed historical analysis and far-reaching utopian vision is a step-by-step guide to social revolution: the concrete means of achieving it and the new world that humanity is capable of creating. As insightful as when it was first published over a century ago, this is essential reading for anyone interested in a pragmatic yet visionary approach to questions of economic justice. This edition includes a new introduction that historically situates and discusses the contemporary relevance of Kropotkin's ideas. Pris: 100kr |

THE CONQUEST OF BREAD Peter Kropotkin Elephant Editions One of the fundamental classics of anarchism, its validity today lies in Kropotkins vision of the revolutionary project as a totality, something that would be impossible if it were not already in act. Pris: tillfälligt slut |

WHAT IS ANARCHISM? Alexander Berkman AK Press A reprint of perhaps the first and best exposition of anarchism by one of its greatest propagandists (by both word and deed) and thinkers. In a clear conversation with the reader Berkman discusses society as it now exists, the need for anarchism and the methods for bringing it about. Combines the oft-reprinted texts of What is Communist Anarchism? and the ABC of Anarchism back into its original format. Foreworded by his comrade and lover Emma Goldman, as well as Barry Pateman. "All such people need a primer of Anarchism—an ABC, as it were, that would teach them the rudimentary principles of Anarchism and whet their appetites for something more profound. What is Anarchism? was intended to serve this purpose. That it has fulfilled its purpose no one who has read this little book will deny." —Emma Goldman "It's a mixture of moral and practical argument that has not been surpassed. It was the only attempt of an anarchist to present his ideas in a thorough and cohesive way, ideas distilled from nearly forty years of activism. He examines how change comes about—and, just as importantly for him, why it doesn't. Perhaps in a book filled with thoughtful and contentious points, the most salient discussion is why people continue to accept capitalism and all its institutions that oppress and repress individual freedom. For Berkman, human evolution was instinctively predicated on mutual aid and justice was a kind of instinctive sympathy that can only be hindered or corrupted by government." —from Barry Pateman's introduction Pris: 110kr |

LIBERTARIAN COMMUNISM Isaac Puente See Sharp A classic exposition. "Libertarian Communism is not a blueprint for a future society. It is, rather, a set of principles to be applied by the working class, and all others who are prepared to work alongside them, for taking over and running the economic base of society so as to refashion it in accordance with social justice. While it is collective in spirit and method, libertarian communism gives the fullest possible scope to individual needs and aspirations. It is no utopian scheme, though it is the means by which to reach the utopia of anarchism." [from the Introduction] Pris: 20kr |
