IDK I'm just saying read history not "anarchist theory" if you WANT ANARCHY read abt the development of bureaucracies before capitalism to manage capital and shit. Desert and all that other stuff read is really lackluster (to put it very generously). Read Braudel & Samir Amin type shit. Not just like, speculative anthropology

Graeber is an anarchist, he wrote that book bc he went to a Mike Hudson conference he did to get people into early monetary theory. It's alright, there are better books on that stuff.

I recommend reading about the development of anarchist and communism in the 1800s but I'm not great on that just the early 1900s, I've been reading about the 2nd international and pre marx socialist goofballs etc.
