    That’s fair, children can take up a lot of ‘free’ time - but maybe you can find ways to have them help you out and help teach them the goodness of community support, volunteer reading at a library, carpooling with other families who can’t attend for lessons at a community centre, etc? A lot of that will depend on where you live and what’s around or what you could start around.


    The ultimate resource is AFAQ. This is a ridiculously large document and not one you generally read from start to finish, but instead think of it as a guide to answer questions you may have.

    If you want more ‘theory’, there’s a lot and being anarchists it’s all provided for free online and can be found at the Anarchist Library. Some decent older reads are Errico Malatesta’s - At The Café or Pëtr Kropotkin’s - The Conquest of Bread

    If you’re into Sci-Fi, Ursula K Le Guin is a famous author who’s works often portray largely anarchist elements.

    Want something that’s not black text on a white background, but presented in a more Web 2.0 manner? Crime Think’s got you covered.

    Zines are hit or miss, but can always be interesting and give unique/local insights. A collect of many can be found at the Zine Library on github.

    We run a community on Quokk.au called the Little Leftist Library - !lll@quokk.au, that links to some good reads. There’s also !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com which links other readings/news.

    But ultimately the main thing that sets anarchism apart from other leftist ideologies is that it’s less based on reading and more on direct action - making the changes that help the people today.
