Bookchin Book Dump

Thanks man

Here is the whole book that this essay is from. "The Modern Crisis".

how should I get started on this pinko?

I would recommend starting by downloading and reading "The Next Revolution". It is the best introduction to Bookchin's most mature work.

after that, what should I expect, and is there any background knowledge that I need?

As far as background information on Bookchin goes, the only thing I'd suggest would be reading this introduction to dialectics:
empyreantrail.wordpress.com/2016/09/12/dialectics-an-introduction/

But after that, I would recommending reading this pdf on the five unfolding layers of social ecology, and then read "The Murray Bookchin Reader" by Janet Biehl.

Oh shit; didn't notice this thread; ah well. I'm gonna ask again: could bookchin's communalism be described as a deluzian interpretation of anarchism? Dialectical Naturalism's call for an analysis of the "developmental process" in which "being is becoming" seems to echo much of Delueze's original conceptions of immanence. Where it differs tho is how Bookchin thinks this enables us to create an objective ethical framework by maximizing our subjectivity and abilities to experience the world. Is that irreconcilable with rhizome philosophy?

Also here's "Urbanization Without Cities: The Rise and Decline of Citizenship" since it's out of print: my.mixtape.moe/gpizrp.pdf

Don't know enough about Deleuze to know of any similarities, sorry. Bookchin was extremely critical of post-modernism, however.

How are you getting hold of these unreleased works? Are you the guy who said that he studies at the institute of Social Ecology? Why would people be mad if you are posting it here?

Also are the guy who started the previous bookchin threads?

So many questions. Are you a cop?

Sorry I forgot to take off my shitposting flag

Thanks op,

Why is it 339 fucking megabytes?

Because its 2k pages of pictures, not a neat text only file.

Oh he hello :^}

Absolutely fucking based. Somebody should create a torrent version of this.

Is post-leftism the bordiga "leftcommunism" of anarchism

For the most part, yeah; Bob Black is the only one to really try to refute much of Bookchin's ideology beyond the lifestylism complaints. But his critique ultimately falls apart thanks to his rather gross misunderstanding of Bookchin's conceptions of urbanization. Black thinks "Libertarian Municipalism" is just a sort of "mini-statism"; where he cites that much of revolutionary activity that has taken place in history has always been within the city.

This wasn't Bookchin's point; his point was that not once in history has the world been so vastly dominated by urban sprawl before. Bookchin's belief, was that the future is fundamentally urban, and that anarchists must adapt to this rather than rely on bourgeois nihilist conceptions of "deep ecology" and "permaculture." In the 21st Century, the marxist-leninist/maoist dream of peasant revolts will remain just that: a dream. To many, Bookchin's abandonment of class struggle is by far the most heretical thing he's ever espoused; but I think the proposed alternative doesn't necessitate abandonment, rather in in many ways it reinvigorates class struggle's ability to do what it does best: smashy smashy.

Here is part of one of Bookchin's "Re-Enchanting Humanity". It is an absolutely devastating critique of deep ecology, malthusianism, post-modernism, and a lot more.

Thanks user, :); could you care to link the rest?

Yes, just had to find the PDF.

That's a shame; both of them were extremely critical of traditional dialectical reasoning so I was just wondering there were any parallels that could be drawn there.

Thanks OP!
Been looking for this.

Especially for having it in epub, it's the most convenient way to read on the daily commute.

thanks again

Me too; I've been hard-pressed to find a digital copy of "The Philosophy of Social Ecology: Essays on Dialectical Naturalism" until now.

I started this, one of the few things I'm gonna have to go back to. Its quite a lot of reading. He rambles something awful and has a great many bones to pick with other socialists so he has a tendency to go on and on.

I like his ideas mostly though

OP is a god

we gotta send this to Ocalan on his prison island, he's probably bored af and would love some fresh Bookchin

yeah, the "grumpy old man" meme is not without merit

are his pamphlets any good?

Here you go

Here is volume 3 of Bookchin's multi-volume work "The Third Revolution". If you check amazing, these books are normally hundreds of dollars.

This book covers the 1905 and 1917 Russian revolutions.

bump

Superior version

Is his work "Post-Scarcity Anarchism" worth a read?

Yes

get rid of aristocratic anti semite, put in marx, and it'd be perfect

Has Bookchin taken Bordiga's throne as /ourguy/?

I don't like to complain, but do you have more epubs? I like reading on my ereader and they dont handle PDFs generally well

Use calibre-ebook.com/ to convert PDFs to epubs or whatever other ebook format you need (it's even open source if that's important to you)

The result isn't always perfect but has been good enough for me over the years.

if they're text PDFs and not scanned page images anyway.

Pancake man > bookchin

probably

who?
