moonlightgrey 's review for:
On Anarchism
by Noam Chomsky
With an interest in politics, protest and activism, I chose this book to try and understand what Anarchism is from one of the prominent voices who challenges our capitalist societal position.
I'm not necessarily the most knowledgeable about the many terms used but I think this book has helped me grasp what Chomsky's perspective is and in turn form my own idea of the concept.
I particularly appreciated the chapter which was written in interview form - as it allowed me to understand the focus of the piece of text, whereas some of the chapters I got slightly lost in the text as it felt there was a degree of assumed knowledge from the reader that I maybe did not have.
I enjoyed this book, and I enjoyed being challenged. I liked that Chomsky was open about the fact he didn't quite know how Anarchism would work, but is confident that with trial and error - it could. I found myself coming round to this idea and seeing how this concept actually aligns with much of my feelings about society. Turns out I'm more of an Anarchist than I thought!
