Anti-Bolshevik Communism by Paul Mattick

The ABC of Anarchism by Alexander Berkman

particularly the above if you are looking for something in very plain language which is very easy to understand.

I think The Conquest of Bread by Peter Kropotkin is quite straightforward.

In the interests of being a bit of a non-conformist, I'll just chuck a curve-ball right in here: The Liberation of Society from the State: What is Communist Anarchism? (http://erichinenglish.org/liberation.html) by Erich Mühsam :)

Not this.

I recommend grabbing a copy of Red Emma Speaks. Has a nice collection of essays by Emma Goldman on various issues. Also, ABC of Anarchism is good. I often disagree with the vocabulary used by anarchists of the past including Goldman and Berkman. So when they use the terms "socialism" or "communism", realize they are using it differently than most anarchists today like to use those terms. An example is they at times use socialism when referring to the ideology of reformist socialist parties instead of using it to refer to a democratically controlled economy.

I wouldn't put "Chomsky on Anarchism" even close to a top 20 list of anarchist recommendations. Lots more important (and overall better) stuff out there.

Besides The Conquest of Bread, I think Fields, Factories, and Workshops by Kropotkin is important. There's an edition put out by Black Rose Books, that was edited by George Woodcock. The good thing about this edition is that after each chapter, it puts the context into modern senses (although the original book is good by itself, it helps put more clarity into the text). My only complaint is that there seems to be an obvious typo every 4 pages :lol:
