Hey all, I'm hoping this is the right comm for this kind of post. I'm really interested what brought my fellow lemmings to anarchism (or just radical politics in general). Was is a youtube video? A book? A conversation IRL or on the internet? For me personally it was a friend IRL who introduced me to an local anarchist collective.

I had read about it very early, but really became a convert after reading Ursula LeGuin.

Lol the dispossessed was one of my first intros to the anarchist world, was nice to see a somewhat realistic anarchist community in its early stages, even with its flaws.

Funny how I initially found the plot of the book boring (which I still believe it is), but I guess the point is to focus on the world building and the contrast of the two worlds.

Thanks to the guy who got me the book in a secret santa event cuz I had said that I like dystopian and fantasy books:)

Always Coming Home is also spectacular. Very different kind of book.
