hwasouthern.blogg.se - No Gods No Masters by Daniel Guérin

There are then authors less identified as libertarian and more as left-marxist or left communist, who are not so far away philosophically: Gramsci, Pannekoek, Luxembourg, and even Marx, particularly his earlier work. Oscar Wilde also has a wonderful essay called The soul of man under socialism.

Then there are the classic anarchist and libertarian texts like: anything by Emma Goldman Kropotkin, Mutual Aid Proudhon, What is Property? Bakunin, God and the State. Bertrand Russell, Proposed Roads to Freedom - maybe a little outdated now, and probably not exactly in the libertarian tradition, but a useful presentation of Russell’s version of socialism.Sam Dolgoff, The Anarchist Collectives: Workers’ self-management in the Spanish revolution - useful description of libertarian activities during the revolution including lots of primary sources.Michael Albert, Parecon - presents an economic model, essentially an updated version of the Spanish libertarians, for a post-capitalist society.Robin Hahnel, Economic Justice and Democracy - more general as the title suggests, but there is a very good chapter on Libertarian Socialism and another chapter by Chomsky in reply.Of course almost anything by this author is a good reference.

Noam Chomsky, Power and Prospects, and, Government in the Future - talks/articles where he speculates on future organisation.

Peter Marshall, Demanding the Imposible: A History of anarchism - probably the best historical reference on the topic, though I find him a bit idiosyncratic in places.

Daniel Guerin (ed), No Gods No Masters - the standard anthology of anarchist writings.

Here is a brief list off the top of my head. I tend to roll together libertarian socialism and anarchism together, as historically tends to happen.

Is there a standard set of libertarian literature? Well, of course there is a long history in the socialist tradition.
