Book Thoughts: The Struggle Against the State and Other Essays

[selenicseas]

This is a collection of essays by Nestor Makhno, translated by Alexandre Skirda. I thought it might be good for me to read something written by an actual revolutionary. I'm not sure I got much out of it; I've been looking into libertarian communism since I was 12 so a lot of the theory was already familiar to me. What wasn't familiar to me was the actual practice – the Makhnovshchina and how it functioned – and Ukrainian history. It's definitely a topic I'll have to look into more.
