what Banks book do you recommend?
If you must know, I am a utopian anarchist of the kind best described by Iain Banks
-
-
-
All of them, especially Surface Detail
-
Got a favorite part of Hydrogen Sonata?
-
The mind sacrificing itself in the final ship battle
-
The description of that ship mind's death is one of the most awe inspiring passages in all of Sci-fi.
-
Banks rarely indulged deeply in his ability to write amazing prose.... he let himself off the leash for a few paragraphs on that one.

While it seems extremely unlikely that union-busting billionaires could possibly be utopian anarchists, we'd like to suggest some initial readings for anyone interested in utopian and anarchist thought:
-
- Post-Scarcity Anarchism, by Murray Bookchin - The Dispossessed, by Ursula K. Le Guin - Two Cheers for Anarchism, by James C. Scott
-
The blind leading the blind. He'd be worse off reading any of those books. LOL. ...Especially if he hasn't read "Engines of Creation" by Drexler, and "What Price Freedom?" by Freitas. http://www.kurzweilai.net/what-price-freedom-2 … For that matter, remedial Rand, Rothbard, Bastiat, etc. are all better..

You're rattling off right-wing propertarians, none of whom have any interest in a stateless society free from domination. Anarchism is and always has been a wing of the socialist movement.

this Freak Power dude is Elon’s other account -
Nope, I'm not Musk. If you notice I'm critical of his views in some places. I'm just more critical of a few of his dumber-than-dirt critics who can't seem to find definitions for the words they want to use. This annoys me because I'm assuming that they have access to Google.

please tell us about the history of the words anarchist or libertarian or whatever you want :)
