Any time I try to learn about these topics it always references super old books that are written in a complicated English that’s beyond my simplistic knowledge.
I’m Gen Z and didnt know the difference between Democrat and Republican until like 4 years ago because I never cared about politics (and pretty personal reasons), this has obviously changed as of recent. As I went through highschool in one of, if not THE most censored history classes in the country (and from a trump supporter teacher too…) I wasn’t given the best background knowledge for these topics.
I would like a book that essentially explains the ideas and some of the historical events in a more understandable way that won’t lead me to the Wikipedia page for some random person from Russia in the 1900s confused as hell.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Sooooome ‘economic’ arrangements do preclude freedom, call very loudly for autocracy.
You can be an authoritarian capitalist monarchist or an authoritarian communist monarchist, but you cant really be an anarchist without notions of ‘productivity’ that privilege labor or a great deal of egalitarianism
