As of late i have only read Marxist books. Communist Manifesto, Principles of Communism, Wage-Labour and Capital, and am working on Capital. But, i really have a keen interest in Anarcho-Syndicalism/Anarcho-Communism. My views are pretty libertarian regarding state authority and so on. on this subject, all i have read is Mutual Aid by Kropotkin.


So, my question is: Would any Anarcho-Syndicalists be able to recommend books on the political theory/history and practice of this tendency?

Thanks in advance

Program of Anarcho-Syndicalism by G.P. Maximoff. Issued as a booklet by the Rebel Worker Group in Australia, it's concise and systematic. For anarcho-syndicalism in practice there's Anarchist Organization by Juan Gomez-Casas.

It isn't syndicalist, but The Conquest of Bread by Kropotkin is an excellent introduction to the basic argument for anarcho-communism.

Kropotkin also wrote article (?) called Syndicalism and anarchism which is quite good. I translated that on Croatian, and soon Ceanter for anarchist studies which I run will publish that ;)

i corrected the part with the (?) since i figured you putting it there meant you didnt know if it was right. ill check it out though.

Can you help me and give me links where can I buy this?

Also, I think that Maksimoff's Constructive Anarchism (http://libcom.org/library/constructive-anarchism-debate-platform-g-p-maksimov) is quite interesting to read ;)
