@goaskforde YouTuber Anark's video, Constructing the Revolution.

@goaskforde An Anarchist Solution to Global Warming by Peter Gelderloos is what got me into this. Its a very short description of a vision of one possible future organized by anarchistic principles. https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/peter-gelderloos-an-anarchist-solution-to-global-warming

@goaskforde Not exactly what you're looking for, but possibly of interest: *Free to Choose*, ten videos. https://www.freetochoosenetwork.org/programs/free_to_choose/index_80.php
@goaskforde Maybe Kolektiva should have a wiki?
@goaskforde it's not explicitly anarchist, but I really like this text about healthy relationship : https://norasamaran.com/2016/02/11/the-opposite-of-rape-culture-is-nurturance-culture-2/
BLM 
@goaskforde The Introduction to The Anarchist FAQ:
@goaskforde For anarcho-curious folks who prefer videos, we've got our A is for Anarchy series.
https://sub.media/a-is-for-anarchy
https://kolektiva.media/video-channels/a_is_for_anarchy/videos
@goaskforde more of a primer but maybe people need something contemporary to start https://blackrosefed.org/who-are-the-anarchists-and-what-is-anarchism/
@goaskforde Seconding Anarchy Works by Peter Gelderloos: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/peter-gelderloos-anarchy-works
@DetritusBooks @goaskforde It’s good! I’m halfway through and it’s very digestible and very well sourced and cited.
@goaskforde Life Without Law: An Introduction to Anarchist Politics
@goaskforde Idk if anyone else had read it (or had thoughts about it), but I found crimethinc’s “What would an anarchist program look like” article really helpful for my conceptualizing of the/an endgame. https://crimethinc.com/2020/11/02/exercise-what-would-an-anarchist-program-look-like
@goaskforde Hey, I started making a google doc of some anarchism resources... Check it out :)
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JBaAIlEiD1lhryJJ2QaTVam6iTarsTa9M1-kiU4jBgc/edit?usp=sharing
"The Antifa Handbook" by Mark Bray, especially the chapters "Four: Five Historical Lessons for Anti-Fascists" and 'Five: “So Much For the Tolerant left!”: “No Platform” and Free Speech'.
Found them to be concise and easy to understand, esay to remember.
https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/mark-bray-antifa-the-antifascist-handbook
concise and important
@goaskforde Socialism Will Be Free or It Will Not Be At All on Black Rose website
@goaskforde my favourite accessible intro: 'Work Community Politics War'
https://libcom.org/files/wcpw.pdf
@goaskforde Softboy Social Club on YouTube, I’d say.
@goaskforde Not really “theory” or even much of an intro to anarchism, but David Graeber’s “Are you and Anarchist?, The answer may surprise you!” Is easy to read and dispells a lot of the myths about anarchism.
@goaskforde "Anarchism and Its Aspirations" by Cindy milstein is my go-to primer for the anarchy-curious in my life. Super accessible and interesting read
@goaskforde Anarchy Works is easily the most compelling introduction I know of. Nothing convinces people that something could work more than showing them that it does work. It also has comprehensive answers to the most common questions and objections to anarchism https://anarchy.works/primer.html
Inhabit is much quicker, more poetic, and more practical for modern times. It's what I recommend for people who don't want to sit down and read a whole book https://inhabit.global/
Are You An Anarchist? The Answer May Surprise You! is another quick and easy one, maybe better than either of the others for people who aren't so keen on grittiness and violence https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/david-graeber-are-you-an-anarchist-the-answer-may-surprise-you
@goaskforde Women and Socialism published by Haymarket books is a great resource for radicalizing libs, especially because it clearly lays out the impossibility of “changing the system from within” and drags well known lib orgs for their histories of racism and homophobia
@goaskforde my good friend shared this with me, and I thought it was not only powerful, but would also be an easily digestible, not overly heavy handed on theory sort of piece that might inspire someone to go deeper: https://popula.com/2019/02/24/about-face/
@goaskforde I produce a podcast that reviews and discusses books written by #Anarchists.
I've been on a bit of a break because I got a new job that has messed up my schedule, but here's the site if anyone is interested:
@goaskforde I will continue recording soon I hope. I plan to delve into some Kafka. Though not strictly an anarchist, he has a lot of ideas and subject studies that really call out to anarchists world wide. 
@goaskforde "Dreams of Freedom," by Magon, "Conquest of Bread," by Kropotkin, "How Nonviolence Protects the State," by Gelderloos.
