The Anarchist Handbook

By: Michael Malice

Narrated by: Michael Malice

Length: 13 hrs and 29 mins

Publisher's summary

Anarchism has been both a vision of a peaceful, cooperative society — and an ideology of revolutionary terror. Since the term itself — anarchism — is a negation, there is a great deal of disagreement on what the positive alternative would look like. The black flag comes in many colors.

The Anarchist Handbook is an opportunity for all these many varied voices to speak for themselves, from across the decades. These were human beings who saw things differently from their fellow men. They fought and they loved. They lived and they died. They disagreed on much, but they all shared one vision: Freedom.

A great summary of anarchist philosophy.

A great summary of anarchist philosophy from original philosophers, taking a fair and uncritical sampling of differing flavors.

Great dive into anarchist thinking.

I really enjoyed the essays by Lysander Spooner and David Friedman. This was a great listen, and I would recommend this to anyone who is questioning the current political system we live under. There are a lot or really interesting ideas in this book.

Fantastic Read (listen)

I did not always agree with the solutions posited, but the criticisms of the state were on point. A very enlightening read (listen). Fantastic performances, though Yeonmi Park's reading may be difficult for those not accostumed to her accent to decipher.

Hasnas and rothbard make it well worth the listen

Murray n rothbard’s anatomy of the state and John hasnas’s myth of the rule of law make this audio book get a 5 stars review from me. If you haven’t ever heard nor read them, they are freely found on the net and maybe even free audio YouTubes, but the voices for both of these that malice picked were brilliant!!

wonderful gathering of thoughts from across the spectrum, this collection is a true education on anarchism

Read it! Or don’t.

The choice is yours to make. Live free or don’t. Also your choice. Your choice isn’t mine, tho.

Stick with it.

I struggled in the beginning. With myself not being an anarchist, and listening more for learning... some of the earlier chapters were not to my tastes.
However, as the book continued, I was increasingly interested and curious.
If you think this book isnt for you, you should definitely listen to it.

Brilliant

Truly the comprehensive guide to the philosophy of anarchism. The narration was also world class.

Surprisingly beautiful

Some of these writings are actually beautiful and I listened to several of them multiple times, mostly the ones I was not familiar with.

For the authors and essays I was already very familiar with, it was very satisfying to hear them in the modern voices of anarchist, liberal thought.

Fascinating reading

It was great to hear these writings for the first time. These should be taught in civics classes along with all of the other political philosophies.
