Hello Comrade, be sure and join us for the latest installment of our chapter's reading group! This time around we're going to tweak the format slightly and discuss a trio of essays from Murray Bookchin. While his works cover a wide variety of topics, he is especially influential among anarchists and the anti-state Left in general. Which hey, this will be a change of perspective from our prior readings. See the following links for the essays, and while I do hope we can cover all three, if time doesn't permit we'll be focusing more on the first two. So be sure and at least read the first two. In addition are links to some supplemental material to learn more about Bookchin and his work.

1. Listen, Marxist! - A critique of the Marxist approach to class struggle.

2. Social Anarchism or Lifestyle Anarchism - Being a solo anarchist is being a performative anarchist.

3. The Future of the Left - Bookchin has ideas on where we go from the present day.
