A Future Worth Living |

Anarchism vs. Primitivism |
Sheppard, Brian Oliver |
This important pamphlet looks closely at the fundamental conflicts between anarchism and primitivism. It traces primitivism's basic precepts back to their authoritarian roots, reveals primitivist misconceptions about anarchism, capitalism and technology, shows how the corporate media have used primitivism to discredit anarchism, and also shows how ideology-driven primitivists, much like fundamentalist Christians opposed to evolution, have picked through anthropological evidence to support their predetermined conclusions, while ignoring data that contradict those conclusions. |

Class Warfare in the USA and the Proper Way to Mutiny |
LeVasseur, Joe |
An excellent treatise on class in America, written from someone at the bottom - i.e., the working class. "Class has become a nonexistent issue to most people here.

However, the specifics are different and the United States is its own unique country with its own unique problems around class. I wrote this essay based on my own experiences with class here in the United States and encourage other working class, poor, and broke people to do the same. We exist." |

Here the libertarian activist described as 'Franco's public enemy number one' recounts some of the context of the new wave of opposition to the Franco regime in the 1960s, and its international significance. |
