Post-scarcity Anarchism
Post-scarcity Anarchism | Murray Bookchin
2 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
From the 'Working Classics Series ' comes this modern anarchist classic, bringing an inspiring vision of how a non-hierarchical, ecologically minded and non-capitalist society can equitably meet human needs. Bookchin argues that material scarcity need no longer plague human history. Through the dissolution of hierarchical relations, social and cultural potentials can now be fulfilled in our 'post-scarcity' era.

Post-scarcity Anarchism | Murray Bookchin

Society is ruled by the harsh maxim: "production for the sake of production."

Man, standardized by machines, is reduced to a machine

If you're looking to get into reading Murray Bookchin, or have at least submitted the demands of the leftist dank memesphere to "google bookchin" Post-Scarcity anarchism is a fantastic place to start in Bookchinite philosophy. Bookchin expands profoundly upon the libertarian socialist philosophies of Kropotkin, Bakunin, Goldman etc. by bringing it into contemporary politics and merging it with a new focus on ecology and man's connection to nature.
