A fascinating view into what a whole anarchist country might look like. And how it is centered on relationship and mutual respect.

Treba nam više anarhističkih utopija u književnosti, a i u životu. Kako i sama autorka kaže, anarhizam nije cilj već kompas, ideal kome treba stremiti i raditi na njemu danas, sutra i svakog narednog dana, putovanje ispunjeno solidarnošću, uzajamnom pomoći i poštovanjem. Nema slobode bez odgovornosti, a junaci ovog romana u sebi nalaze odgovornost da svoju slobodu brane od invazivne imperijalističke sile čija je pogonska snaga ekspanzija zarad ekspanzije i slepa pokornost autoritetu.
Roman je napisan vrlo jednostavnim, prijemčivim jezikom ratnog novinara i predstavlja njegovu ispovest sa fronta i uvid u ono što mi danas u ovom svetu možemo posmatrati samo i isključivo kao utopiju, nažalost. No, kako autorka navodi u pogovoru, ta utopija je važna jer nam pokazuje da je bolji svet moguć i da nada postoji. Iako je ton kojim likovi govore ponekad previše didaktički u smislu da svi zvuče kao profesori sociologije koji se obraćaju učeniku koji nikad nije čuo za koncept, mislim da je osećaj pripadnosti slobodnom svetu koji protagonista postepeno razvija ipak uspeo da nadjača taj minus.
Sve u svemu, jako me zanima kakav utisak bi imao neko ko već ne naginje anarhističkoj misli.

I couldn't find Le Guin's quote on this but at some point she said we lack a political movement partly from a dearth of imagination. This book and this author goes(go) some way towards imagining a goal to strive towards and as such gives much for the imagination to ruminate on. In between are good, insightful little gut-punches to capitalism - like that kids shouldn't work cause they don't have social capital to refuse: "isn't that true for poor people too?"
And then at the end the author describes meeting an indigenous person who tells them, about the USA: "This land was destroyed by people looking for utopia." So let us be careful of our imaginations of utopia as well. There's likely a dystopia in there we do not yet see.
