Anarchy


Read by Anna Simon

(4.6 stars; 106 reviews)

Anarchy is a thought-provoking exploration of the principles and philosophy of anarchism, penned by the influential thinker Errico Malatesta. In this concise yet impactful work, Malatesta articulates his vision of a society free from hierarchical structures and oppressive governance.

Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century political discourse, Malatesta delves into the nature of authority, freedom, and the potential for a cooperative society. His arguments challenge conventional views on power and governance, inviting listeners to reconsider the foundations of social order.

This essay not only serves as a foundational text for those interested in anarchist thought but also engages with broader themes of liberty, justice, and the human condition. Malatesta's clear and direct style makes complex ideas accessible, encouraging critical reflection on the role of the individual within society.

ANARCHY


(4.5 stars)

Government seems to be the true system of disorder....this book rings so true even more now. The people have been asleep at the wheel and the common public has been fooled by government.

Excellent clear reading and the content is a nice primer to Anarchism.

A must listen


(5 stars)

This book could have been written yesterday. My only point of contention is the call for revolution. All one needs to do is remove government from their life as an individual. Once a critical mass has been reached the government will fall under its own weight as the support slowly crumbles.

Well read it has been a pleasure to listen to this old classic
