On Anarchism
On Anarchism | Noam Chomsky
"On Anarchism" provides the reasoning behind Noam Chomsky's fearless lifelong questioning of the legitimacy of entrenched power. In these essays, Chomsky redeems one of the most maligned ideologies, anarchism, and places it at the foundation of his political thinking. Chomsky's anarchism is distinctly optimistic and egalitarian. Moreover, it is a living, evolving tradition that is situated in a historical lineage; Chomsky's anarchism emphasizes the power of collective, rather than individualist, action. The collection includes a revealing new introduction by journalist Nathan Schneider, who documented the Occupy movement for "Harper's" and "The Nation," and who places Chomsky's ideas in the contemporary political moment. "On Anarchism" will be essential reading for a new generation of activists who are at the forefront of a resurgence of interest in anarchism and for anyone who struggles with what can be done to create a more just world."

On Anarchism | Noam Chomsky

For many people the first reaction one has to hearing the word "anarchism" is negative and conjures images of riots and chaos. However, this should not be associated with philosophical anarchism which seeks simply to understand how power works in society, and tries to create a freer world. This book contains many wonderful ideas about freedom that make a person feel very content. If is a little slow in the middle, but is highly enjoyable.

Just started reading On Anarchism. Only two pages in and I have already found a wonderful quote.
