Havnt looked into the actual thinking behind anarchism. Played a lot of 2b2t.org back in my day so thats my reference point. Please enlighten me on your thinking.

There will probably many different answers because there are many flavors of anarchism. We all share the same antiauthoritian spirit but we come all from differen starting points.

Talking from my perspective, I cant put my viee on anarchism in better words than this text: To Change Everything - an anarchist appeal by crimethinc

if you're not sure yet if you might be an anarchist, consider Are You An Anarchist? The Answer May Surprise You!.

A colleague who used to work the late shift with me, and who I now realize was probably an anarchist told me to check out David Graeber's essay on Bullshit Jobs, which I found to be pretty radicalizing. There's also a book on the topic by Graeber if you want a longer version with more examples.

There are plenty of good primers out there, but one I like and find accessible is “Anarchism: A Very Short Introduction” by Colin Ward
