I actually just read all of that. I don't quite know what that means for me personally.

Also..no.

damn, i was just about to ask if anyone has read even one iota of any of this.. i tried to read some on the first page, and a bit on that last post, but tbh, i only make it about 1, maybe two paragraphs, tops..

Please summarize the topic in 3 sentences or less. We thank you cordially.

Still not dead? Records being made.

Lol. I don't have a problem with that because my goal is to get this information shared, not for people to see my name. So have fun I guess. And this isn't even half of the book anyways, lol

I wouldn't do your dirty work.... and plaster my name behind it, no way

Dude wow, I almost made it to the end... Almost.

 

[Impman]

Im a fan! Thanks Finshaggy! That was truly the weirdest shit I have ever read, but even better is the circus that follows you!! Stay fucking strange man.

Hey...!

Getting 4 words in doesn't count as almost, but valiant effort non the less

The first part has nothing to do with anarchy. The Art of War was written by Sun Tzu as a manual for NATIONS to war with each other. Not individuals, but regimented armies. Definitely not anarchy.

Bitcoins or altcoins also have nothing to do with anarchy either. In a true anarchy you wouldn't even have the infrastructure to maintain an internet, or phone lines for that matter.

I don't get you. You try to make these grandiose plans, but you don't even know what you're doing or talking about. Research something first, then make plans. Don't just go off half-cocked without any background information on what you're trying to do. It just makes you look uninformed and wishy-washy.

This is not meant to actually be just for anarchists, that is just a title.

 

[JackTheBongRipper]

Title is everything in the book, or ebook, world. It's the first impression. They won't read the short blurb if the title doesn't catch them. Then they won't read the book if the blurb doesn't interest them.

 

[JackTheBongRipper]

Might I suggest, "A guide for new age libertarians and revolutionaries."

Well this is the title, and it will interest people. I do not care if it does not fit the definition of "anarchy", it is just a title to get kids reading educational things that they will probably have fun reading.

 

[Finshaggy]

That's not who it is for. It is for average and struggling kids.

 

[JackTheBongRipper]

Ok, it was just a suggestion I came up with on the fly.

I'm definitely in favor of what you're trying to do, I just have my humble suggestions on how you could go about it better to achieve greater success.

If someone can come up with a more eye catching and awe inspiring (for a kid) title than "The Anarchist's Textbook" I will change it, right now. But the Anarachist's Cookbook is the #1 Best seller on Amazon if I am not mistaken, and I know it's one of the only books I WANTED when I was a kid (apart from the Rig Veda and stuff).

So I really think it is the best for the job.

I am also writing a book about the rapture from the perspective of a dog, and I am calling that "B.I.B.L.E." so can't use that.

Thank you to everyone else that posted in support that I did not directly reply to.

You could run into copyright problems if you use "The Anarchist's Textbook" as compared to "The Anarchist's Cookbook". Seriously, it's too close and copyright law is not an exact science. If it even seems close enough to cause confusion, you will be denied that title. Have a backup ready just in case.

The young adult's anarchists guide? How to live in anarchy in the modern world?

I dunno. Just brainstorming.

I feel like this is bigger than me so I'll take problems. And I almost feel like the guy that wrote the Anarchists cookbook (who has since become an evangelical Christian and attempted to distance himself from his book, which he calls "An Accident that happened in the throws of teenage rage". I can't guarantee it, but I would assume that the man would be happy to have an addition that is not so misled (or riddled with scientific errors as his was, such as the inclusion of the drug "Banananine" which does not exist).
