Some old postanarchism characteristics: Heavy on Marxist terminology while anarchists (except Bookchin and Graeber maybe) are read through non-anarchists and serve to offer mere slogans, simple positions, and commentary on Marx. Quick to politicize 'the social' with micropolitics while cautioning against mini-states -- anti-statism more generally assumed to be at the heart of anarchism.
Joseph-Pierre Proudhon, explicitly called himself an anarchist and coined the slogan, ‘Anarchy is order; government is civil war’, in 1848 from which Anselme Bellegarrigue derived the symbolized ‘A’ in a circle
There's like three errors in this footnote.
Not concluding anything yet, just not sure I can shake the sense that it's D&G with anarchism resonating here and there rather than a powerful collision.
(as though you asked for a review...)

Hey, what are everyone average pages per day (or week)? Mine was in the good days 30 ~ 90 pages /day
I always have irregular reading habits and in more recent years I struggle to focus on finishing entire books.

Not sure in pages, but generally speaking at least one chapter or section of book each day. I like to read chapters or sections in their entirety before stopping. Same thing goes for my German reading, but I'm much less disciplined about reading in German then in English, and then my purpose is as much language acquisition as anything else.
Edit: This also doesn't include: reading the news, or reading short essays. If I factor that in it starts to seem like quite a lot.

I finished reading Border and Rule by Harsha Walia, and then I also read Jason Wehling's Anarchist Influences on the Mexican revolution, the bibliography of which I'm gonna look through today to see if there's anything there I want to read.
