Best books on Anarchy?

Completely ignorant

Demanding the Impossible: A History of Anarchism is a p good introductory text imo.

I post this same thing in every single one of these threads, but here you go:

Start by looking into the writings of the main figures included in the list at the top left of the homepage of this site. Personally, I am a big fan of William Godwin's treatise titled Enquiry Concerning Political Justice, and its Influence on General Virtue and Happiness. Here is an excerpt from Book I Chapter III, Spirit of Political Institutions, I also regularly post in these threads:

>A second source of those destructive passions by which the peace of society is interrupted is to be found in the luxury, the pageantry and magnificence with which enormous wealth is usually accompanied. Human beings are capable of encountering with cheerfulness considerable hardships when those hardships are impartially shared with the rest of the society, and they are not insulted with the spectacle of indolence and ease in others, no way deserving of greater advantages than themselves. But it is a bitter aggravation of their own calamity, to have the privileges of others forced on their observation, and, while they are perpetually and vainly endeavouring to secure for themselves and their families the poorest conveniences, to find others revelling in the fruits of their labours. This aggravation is assiduously administered to them under most of the political establishments at present in existence. There is a numerous class of individuals who, though rich, have neither brilliant talents nor sublime virtues; and, however highly they may prize their education, their affability, their superior polish and the elegance of their manners, have a secret consciousness that they possess nothing by which they can so securely assert their pre-eminence and keep their inferiors at a distance as the splendour of their equipage, the magnificence of their retinue and the sumptuousness of their entertainments. The poor man is struck with this exhibition; he feels his own miseries; he knows how unwearied are his efforts to obtain a slender pittance of this prodigal waste; and he mistakes opulence for felicity. He cannot persuade himself that an embroidered garment may frequently cover an aching heart.

I just want to study it. I'm a pretty clean guy that keeps his shit together though.

This OP, left-anarchism is a joke.

A few questions: what is the point of a full anarchist county if someone will eventually create a type of government to take over? How will the people protect the land from said government without creating an authority? Is there such a thing as controlled anarchy? It seems like an anarchist government cannot sustain itself

Read Orwell's Homage To Catalonia, that'll explain a massive amount of why this or that without overly resorting academic arguments (I think it's important to see past those to some degree as the real attraction of Anarchism is really more straightforward).

Many Anarchist thinkers like Bakunin and I believe Mr Stirner full on don't believe in having a revolution and replacing one state with another state. Like their issue is with the concept of the state itself to some degree. The argument you're putting forward is actually an old argument from Kant (and so is about as old as the concept of anarchism) so as you read through you'll find it's mentioned quite a bit even in Proudhon, tho Proudhon's treatment has a few uncomfortable holes iirc (he does put forward arguments for why a state is untenable, but (and this is where I'm hazy) he does argue for using state apparatus as a tool to reach goals but glosses over a lot of detail. You're going to find a lot of non practical, quite academic arguments about the whole state thing).

The Ego and Its Own.

How would they do that?

You're not wrong. "Anarchist government" makes no sense.
