This is Part 2 of 2 due to reddit's character limit. For Part 1: click here

Firstly here's a more general anarchist reading list: click here

This is just an exercise in creating a counter reading list of essays and books critiquing post-left anarchy from the perspective of desiring that those individualist anarchists who consider themselves post-left might come back to acknowledging the benefits of working on big tent leftist campaigns, as well as solely anarchist campaigns and direct actions.

If you're unaware of what post-left anarchy is, the main thing you need to know is that it's primarily a skepticism of the utility of mass-movements. Here's a post comparing & contrasting the different values in summary: click here

The post-left reading list is taken from this poster: click here

The essays in each section of each column offer a contrast to each other already, but I feel the need to make special mention of the issues with 4 types of listed items:

  • Eco-extremists defend misanthropic and fascistic mass murder: click here
  • Hakim Bay is an advocate of paedophilic rape: click here
  • Dr. Bones was credibly accused of abusing a fan of his: click here
  • One of the authors of Black Flame called Schmidt has since been outed as a racist. Although the main author of the book was Van der Walt, not Schmidt.

Finally, if you have any suggestions on additions and formatting please let me know and I'll continue to update this post.
