Reading Lists

An anarchist frequently has insights into non-political problems; -- since adherence to any doctrine, attachment to any institution on the necessity of conformance is not a sine qua non of his allegiance, radicals can be especially fortunate and free; they may examine all with an unattached eye, and their freedom will flow from their analysis, not their analysis from their previous commitments. --Dachine Rainer (1947)
