This book came due at the Library & I had to return it before finishing. The next member had reserved it & it was time. A pity since I had began writing a review for hopeful publication in the Anarchist Review of Books (Fifthestate.org) or someplace. If anybody has any insights or reactions to this one, I'm all ears. (Not a Spoiler Alert but..) Obvious reference points include Hakim Bey/Peter Lamborn Wilson's book on Piracy which was published by Autonomedia a few years back. That one is titled "Pirate Utopias: Moorish Crsairs & European Renegadoes"

Beginning of chapter 2 (Introduction). This book is presented as Volume 3 of the Manifesto of the Democratic Civilization. Abdullah Ocalan also is saying in chapter one that " the another aim of these volumes was to clarify the nature of power and capitalist modernity."

I ordered this book through a local store affiliated with bookshop.org and no confirmation was received, nor any other communication. I recently went to a author appearance and book signing sponsored by the same store, but we had to leave after a little more than an hour, so didn't have time to ask what happened. Wish I had ordered directly from PM press instead. Just glancing at the e- book at the moment, on loan from Internet Archive.

Fabulous. I particularly liked the Philadelphia Printworks story and the stuff on Belgian artist Albert Daenens. Good historical insights, it seems. Following the serious from here on out.

Essential, really, it seems to me. Trying to understand Rojava from close-up.

Abdullah Ocalan - the Sociology Of Freedom; Manifesto Of The Democratic Civilization, Volume III. ( 3rd volume of 5) published by Kairos Press/ PM Press e book $8.95 from PM press dot org
Adding to wish list. Firestorm Co-Op carries it. Bolerium Books dot com carries it.
Barnes & Noble carries it. The Lawrence Free Library in Lawrence Massachusettes has it.

Excellent overview of significant features of this revolution. Graphic format is pleasant.

2nd start for this one. Returned library book & checked this out of another library. Slow going but a slim book. Great stuff, so far. The themes are familiar as I have been down this road with a few other books.

Have finished the First Chapter. Excellent, so far.

This volume is missing, probably upstairs. Too much going on at the moment anyway.

Page 29 . Excellent, so far.
