Anarchist ideals in Societies

[Chels]

I'm writing a pamphlet that summarizes historical and modern accounts of anarchist ideals being put into action. I'm currently in the research phase, and I would love it if you guys could link me to some more obscure writings (books, articles, whatever) about societies like the Free Territory of Ukraine, Revolutionary Catalonia etc. and then about smaller township areas like Freetown Christiana in the Netherland, and some businesses that operate under anarchist ideals like AK Press, The Red and Black Cafe etc

I think this thread would be better served in the Learning forum; I'm moving it there.

how do you work under anarchist ideals in a capitalist society? the Red & Black Cafe seemed to be another worker collective, but they still have to compete in the marketplace.

like Freetown Christiana in the Netherland

Don't you confuse Denmark with with Netherlands? Christiania is in Denmark's capital Copenhagen.

Confusion of Denmark and Netherlands is frequent due to a word "Dutch". :)

Of course, it is impossible to truly operate anarchism while surviving in a capitalist world, the material and social conditions dont fully allow it. When it comes to businesses, i suppose i'm looking more for those with a proclaimed anarchist model and analyze it from there

Ah my mistake! It's been a while since i've read anything about Christiana

The point is making an attempt to transcend the realm of abstract thought, where anti-capitalist action predominantly exists. Is it effective? That depends on what you are looking to accomplish and under what terms. But that is the idea at least.
