What is the best text to read in detailing Anarchist-Communist Values and Concepts?

[Wild_Fire]

Just curious to members thoughts on what is the best, must-have copy of a text that explains and outlines Anarcho-communism.:confused:

ABC of Anarchism by Alexander Berkman

ABC of Anarchism by Alexander BerkmanEh..

what is the best, must-have copy of a text that explains and outlines Anarcho-communism
The Conquest of Bread by Kropotkin i would say. I have almost finished it.

You can find it by googling.

Hey. I know I've spoken to both of you about this before. "The Conquest of Bread" and Berkman's "ABCs" are good. I would also suggest "Anarchist Communism: It's Basis and Principles" and "Communism and Anarchy" by Peter Kropotkin. "Post-Scarcity Anarchism" by Murray Bookchin is also good.

I also suggest these authors: Peter Kropotkin, Alexander Berkman, Emma Goldman, Errico Malatesta, Murray Bookchin (his earlier stuff), and Graham Purchase.

Also, there are a few good pamphlets on the history of anarchist-communism: "Anarchist Communism" by Alain Pengam (available on www.zinelibrary.info), and "Five Waves of Anarchist Communism" (maybe by Wayne Price) come immediately to mind.

Some resources for anarchist-communist stuff includes: www.libcom.org, and www.zabalaza.net. Also, the Kropotkin archive linked below...

All the stuff reccomended above, plus:

At The Cafe: Conversations on Anarchism (http://akpress.com/2006/items/atthecafeconversationsonanarchism) by Errico Malatesta

Work Community Politics War (http://www.prole.info/pdfs/wcpw.pdf) by prole.info (.pdf link, not anarchist-communist, but there's nothing in it I disagree with, and its fucking awesomely written/designed)

Oh, and you might be interested in this:

An Anarchist-Communist Reader (.pdf, 1.1MB) (http://anarchia.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/an-anarchist-communist-reader.pdf)

A 72 page reader on anarchist-communism I put together for the founding conference of AWSM. Got heaps good of stuff in it, and suggestions of other stuff to read too.

You really cannot go wrong with Kropotkin. I would suggest The Conquest Of Bread specifically.
