Politics
focus on individuals and bottom-up group association, better social process ownership
trend in anarchist circles to hate communists because their style of process fucked up leftism in russia and thus for people other places, though they really just hate big C communists, and this is somewhat legacy groupthink. see the existence of libertarian communists

Anarchism
- YouTube: Noam Chomsky - What is Anarchism?
- The principle of federation and the need to reconstitute the party of revolution - P.-J. Proudhon
- Peter Kropotkin - His Federalist Ideas
- The Anarchist Sociology of Federalism
Libertarian municipalism
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murray_Bookchin - social ecology vs. deep ecology, social anarchism vs. lifestyle anarchism, anarchism vs. communalism debates.
- What is Communalism? - The Democratic Dimension of Anarchism
- "Where liberal thought generally reduced the social to the economic, various socialisms (apart from Marxism), among which Kropotkin denoted anarchism the "left wing," dissolved the economic into the social."
