Out of curiosity, what would you say are the 3 most important texts that influenced your anarchy?

I think about this every once in a while when somebody asks for important texts. There are just too many. Listing just a few really makes the weaknesses of the texts extra pronounced.

I don't think anything written is all-round solid, but I like stuff like Deleuze's nonnormative metaphysics, Mbembe's human ontology and Wang's necropolitical critique of postleftism, post-left critiques of mass/NGOs/activism and coopted leftism broadly, civilisation critique, baedan and desert, Zoé Samudzi's recent book and its forebears, Sara Ahmed's stuff, loads of different decolonial stuff (see w/decolonial), things related specifically to my context, The Invisible Committee / Tiqqun, and stuff around anarchist pedagogies.

A lot of the best direction I've gotten has just come from listening to more experienced anarchists who keep on top of their game wrt at least some topics.
