Reading through the mod log I saw a "I am very far left and a socialist and I hate tankies because they're authoritarian dictator worshipers" and I would love to don a cunning disguise and pick that person's brain regarding just what socialist tendency they're part of that isn't authoritarian and doesn't have dictators and exists in the real world.

anarcho-socialism comes to mind

Can you recommend any reading on it? I'm really not familiar with that tendency, but I'd like to learn more.

"Read the bread book."

The Conquest of Bread is to anarchist communism as the Communist Manifesto or maybe Wage Labor and Capital is to Marxism — a standard introduction. After that, you might want to read Post-Scarcity Anarchism by Murray Bookchin.

I think he meant anarcho-socialism, which as far as I'm aware isn't a real tendency. there's anarchists and ancoms of all kinds of stripes but all anarchists are socialists so the term doesn't really make sense.
