Rating:  Summary: READ THIS!!!!!!!!!!! Review: Most likely one of the most liberating, eye opening books that I have ever read. If we could all get our hands on this, and truly try to follow the ideas that are presented here, imagine the society that would shape itself. Instead of corporate greed, trodden down middle class workers, and general disgruntaled civillians, we would have a brotherhood of man. Nothing to tear it apart from the inside, and true, genuine need and zest for life. Not life as we live it, but life as it should be lived: free of tyrrany. Please pick this book up for yourself. Please do not buy it through Amazon, go to CrimethInc.'s website and purchase it there. Or better yet, steal it from any bookstore that carries it. Get involved with the cause!
Rating:  Summary: anarchy for beginners Review: this book does exactly what it is intended to do: introduce a political ideology to the reader. In other words, its "crimethinc for beginners". It provides the reader with basic information about anarchism, and it provides the reader with decent arguments against capitalism. The book serves its purpose. After you read this book, if you are still interested with anarchist ideas I suggest you read "anarchism and other essays" by emma goldman, "what is anarchism" by a;exander berkman, "homage to catalonia" by george orwell
Rating:  Summary: a good styart Review: this is the best crimethinc book. There are times when I wish they'd have just stopped here. Excellent introduction to what is so wrong with society, but a little bare in the what the hell are we going to do about it department. And no, I don't think trainhopping and dumpster diving are going to bring about the revolution.
By all means read this. Especially if punk rock and the black block appeals to you, but don't stop there. Check out the writing of Francis Fox Piven, Michael Albert, Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz, John Holloway, ViJay Prishad and Marcos
