State Socialism And Anarchism - Market Anarchist Reading Group #6

We're discussing Benjamin Tucker's famous piece "State Socialism and Anarchism", a great introduction to the world of mutualist and market anarchist thought. Tucker dissects the so-called 'two socialisms' in the ways that they approach the problem of capitalism. He also names the four monopolies that he sees as forming the basis of capitalist exploitation and suggests remedies.

Though the piece makes a lot of references we'll be approaching it as beginners, so don't worry if this is your first time on the subject.

The piece is here: http://panarchy.org/tucker/state.socialism.html
If you like PDFS, it's also available on page 21 of Markets Not Capitalism https://archive.org/details/MarketsNotCapitalism2011ChartierAndJohnson

We'll be meeting on zoom as the last few times. Hoping we can return to in person events soon when the numbers are back down!
