Miscellaneous


In this episode of Beyond Talking Points, Matt and Matt continue their deep-dive into Michael Malice's "Anarchist Handbook". This episode is about Chapter 4, an excerpt from Pierre-Joseph Proudhon's "The Confessions of a Revolutionist", published in 1850. Proudhon was the first person to call himself an anarchist, and is also considered the founder of Mutualism, an ideology which Proudhon thought was "the synthesis of communism and property". This brings up some meta-commentary on the differences between "left anarchists" and people like Noam Chomsky. We map out some of the differences that seem to reveal large rifts between different types of anarchists and statists.
