Anarchist Visions and Realities
According to James Martel, what anarchism opposes is \u201carchism,\u201d a form of politics based on rule and hierarchy. He points to three instances in which anarchism \u2013 by which he means horizontalist and collective politics\u2013 took hold: the Spanish Revolution of the 1930s; the Rojavan Revolution in contemporary Syria; and a region of Papua New Guinea where a man named Yali once held sway.\nJames Martel, Anarchist Prophets: Disappointing Vision and the Power of Collective Sight Duke University Press, 2022\nThe post Anarchist Visions and Realities appeared first on KPFA.
