ok i seem to be addicted to making youtube videos. i'm doing a series, probably three, on the history of the kind of anarchism with which i'd associate my own positions. this is not the "communism" or kropotkin, emma goldman etc. nor is it the "egoism" or "anarcho-capitalism" of stirner, rothbard, ayn rand. it begins in reformation religious individualism, most beautifully expressed (late) by kierkegaard. then with abolitionism and other 19th-century american reform movements, including feminism and the peace movement. then with the secular individualism and anti-authoritarianism of josiah warren, emerson, and thoreau. this variety of anarchism affirms the importance of the individual, but also of the individual's connections to others and to nature. and it does not treat people as fundamentally or exclusively a bundle of economic interests. here's the first installment.
