    I couldn't find How Shall We Bring About the Revolution? online unfortunately, so you'll probably have to get from the library, assuming you have access to a university or big city library.Or esle save your pennies until you can buy a used copy.

    Is there an online PDF? I've recently purchased Black Flame, Conquest of Bread, Accumulation of Freedom - Anarchist Economics. I don't want to spend the money to purchase another book.

    Concerning collectivism vs. communism, I personally favor communism but in a post-revolutionary world of confederated communes there will no doubt some that prefer collectivism. It's one of the strengths of a decentralized federation that experiments can be tried and tested in individual communes without forcing all the others to take them up. If something works that others can use it and adapt it to their own particular circumstances.

    You might be interested in reading How Shall We Bring About the Revolution? by Emile Pataud and Emile Pouget, a science fiction account of a anarcho-syndicalist revolution and what follows. It was written in 1909 by two leading French revolutionary syndicalists, and translated into English in 1913 by two British anarchists (the English language edition has a preface by Kropotkin.)

    I too am an Anarcho-Syndicalist, amazingly, I've read all of those links you've gave me already. They're actually in my bookmarks. I've read several books by various authors, with exception to Proudhon. Would you mind me asking you some questions via PM?

    Good to hear from you.

    I'd be glad to recommend works on anarchism to you. Within anarchism there are various tendencies and I identify with anarcho-syndicalism, so I'll be referring to works that represent that tendency. For starters you should check out Anarcho-Syndicalism 101: http://anarchosyndicalism.net/index.php. There's a wealth of documents you can read online there or download for your later perusal. Another site for connecting with other anarchists is libcom.org, a sort of RevLeft for anarchists: http://libcom.org/ . For anarchist history I recommend Anarchy Archives: http://dwardmac.pitzer.edu/Anarchist_Archives/ .

    I hope this is useful to you.

    Greetings, comrade. I know this may seem odd, but could be my 'mentor'? You're very knowledgeable in Anarchism and its history. If you wouldn't mind sending me some works that are influential and historical works about Anarchism, it'd be greatly appreciated.
