And so basically the rest of this episode is going to be me breaking down how I came to this definition, what I'm expounded upon with this definition. So for one, just taking a look at the structure of it, we are looking at an oppositional stance and a propositional stance, opposing and proposing. You know, we're not just...

for the negation of all things, although there are schools of anarchism that do lean in that direction. We also, of course, we want to be constructive. We're not, as some people seem to presume, you know, obliterating the state and then leaving warlords in their wake, you know?

Exactly. And as you know, Bakunin is one of the earlier thinkers of anarchism. Though I've never really been partial to him, you know? To me, usually I've been more of a Kropotkin and Malatesta kind of guy. But lately, as sort of problematic as he is as well, I haven't gotten into a bit more Proudhon. I recently got the pictures of Proudhon Reader that Ian McKay put together for AK Press.

I think that's... That's important to sift through.

Marx also didn't always understand Fridon's definition. Honestly, I don't think Fridon necessarily always had a very consistent application of his ideas. Hence the misogyny despite being an anarchist and becoming a politician at one point in his life and all that jazz.

Yeah. Unfortunately, the US's cultural hegemony has sort of propagated that American version of the term as the popular one. But yeah, whether you're talking about anarchists or libertarians or mutualists, You're all getting it from basically that same sort of original pool of late 19th century, early 20th century thinkers.
