Barrel of confusion

It is composed of three sections, "Chaos: The Broadsheets of Ontological Anarchism," "Communiques of the Association for Ontological Anarchy," and "The Temporary Autonomous Zone."
Barrel of confusion
Bey's thoughts on Anarchism are quite inspiring but the book reads (IMHO) like a pedo manifesto when he clumsily aligns his idea of liberty with the freedom to rape underage boys, which was for me very hard to stomach (Bey was a prominent member of the proud pedophile organization NAMBLA, so none of this is the workings of my imagination). To sum it up - better to read anarcho-feminists then this shit.
this is an important book
