In 1969, an enraged 19-year-old American (dead at 66) caught up in the social unrest of the period holed up in the NY Public Library and pored through every shred of mayhem he could find -- declassified military documents, US Army field guides, electronic catalogs, insurrectionist pamphlets, and survivalist manuals and eventually emerged with The Anarchist Cookbook.

You have no right to read this in a free democracy. But a police state has a right, some would say an obligation, to censor it and keep it from you.]
There can be no anarchy as a form of governance unless people take responsibility for themselves. Then if they want some governing, they choose it the way we are promised we get can choose. We do not choose. We get fed one thing and told it's another. Far from "chaos," as they train to believe, anarchy is anti-authoritarianism, rebellion, self-rule rather than accepting the oppression brought on by profiteers, capitalists (owners of the means of production), fascists with militarized police and legalized-violence as their instrument. This film explains it well:
Anarchism in America is a colorful and provocative 1983 survey of anarchism in America. The film dispels popular
misconceptions about "anarchy" and traces the historical development of the American Anarchy Movement. The
film explores the movement both as a native American philosophy
stemming from 19th century American traditions of individualism, and as a
foreign ideology brought to America by immigrants.
Hell no, Trump!
The film features
rare archival footage and interviews with significant personalities in
anarchist history including Murray Boochkin and Karl Hess, and also live
performance footage of the super-intelligent San Francisco punk rock band the Dead Kennedys.
