Anarchism is a social movement that seeks liberation from oppressive systems of control including but not limited to the state, capitalism, racism, sexism, speciesism, and religion. Anarchists advocate a self-managed, classless, stateless society without borders, bosses, or rulers where everyone takes collective responsibility for the health and prosperity of themselves and the environment.

So I've been meaning to read theory and stuff, and I just never do, but I have decided to change that. So I have to ask, out of these 4 books which do you think I should read first?

  1. Mutual Aid.
  2. The Conquest of Bread.
  3. Fields, factories and Workshops.
  4. Memoirs of a Revolutionist.

Also please leave a recommendation for any of books about anarchism, or really any other types of stuff, doesn't matter to me. Thanks y'all!
