Anonymous - Total Liberation
Insurrectionist literature, like 'Total Liberation' is often more interesting because of it's criticism of other revolutionary strategies than because of it's own proposal. All too often that can be summarized as 'let's start smashing windows because blue prints are illusory'.
This booklet has some of that, however it moves past that simplicity in the second half of the book. Though not as thought through as I would have loved to see, the need for preparing and creating alternatives for centralized functions *before* an insurrectional opportunity arises. 'Anarchy made livable'.
The analysis in the last chapter 'Confronting the Future' is sketches in too broad strokes as well for my liking. A bit of the old bourgeois intellectual tradition, unfortunately.
All in all a good read for anarchists and other non-autoritarian leftists.
