Post-Scarcity Anarchism is a collection of essays by Murray Bookchin, first published in 1971 by Ramparts Press. In it, Bookchin outlines the possible form anarchism might take under conditions of post-scarcity. One of Bookchin's major works, its author's radical thesis provoked controversy for being utopian in its faith in the liberatory potential of technology.

Sin valoración

Per molt "clàssics" que hagin pogut ser, els llibres polítics (i per tant de temàtica social) depenen, com a mínim una mica, del context. Que hi ha parts que passen de moda, vaja.

En aquest recull d'articles l'autor realment s'avançava al seu temps i actualitzava el comunisme llibertari a una època en què la tecnologia ja podia proporcionar una bona vida. Té gairebé 60 anys!

No és mala idea, però per desgràcia no prou gent li va fer cas i avui dia llegir les bondats de la tecnologia costa una mica més, perquè aquesta s'ha seguit desenvolupant per les pitjors vies que podria: al servei del capitalisme i de mantenir les condicions de vida en un estat prou deplorable com per dependre dels pitjors elements de la societat per viure-hi. Capitalisme, vaja.

Està bé llegir el llibre i fer l'exercici d'imaginar com podria ser un desenvolupament tecnològic …

reseñó Post-Scarcity Anarchism de Murray Bookchin

A very faint sketch

This book is mostly concerned with the idea that technology CAN produce a post-scarcity society, but if you're expecting a clear picture of what that looks like or what it entails, you're going to be disappointed. I read the third edition which included "Listen, Marxist!" which includes a very valuable anarchist reading of the October Revolution and how power was consolidated.

When Bookchin is rattling off all of the things his enlightened anarchist society can cast off, a lot of it is feminine. It doesn't invalidate the book but it does highlight some of his limitations as a social thinker.

I grabbed this off The Anarchist Library and fixed all of the OCR errors that were made in its production as I read through so if you're looking for a nice digital edition, I can recommend it.
