You could also say that most scientists in the whole history of mankind are anarchists, because mutual aid and direct action is almost always obligatory in the fields of science.

It's presentation by Alexandra Elbakyan (slides in English, text in Russian for some reason) for University of North Texas. Basically, it's cases for open access to scientific articles and presentation of her platform Sci-Hub

I think the point of having an open library for science could have been made without trying to tie it into euro-centric way of thinking. It just seemed like propaganda too me. making connections to the tree of knowledge, adam and eve, greek science, the origination of science, lenin, that kind of stuff.

I really don't like it when people try and connect the dots for me because it is usually an attempt to close the circuit on thoughts or a thought.

Oh, I agree. It's, indeed, a very poorly constructed presentation in my oppinion.
