Mutualist and transcendentalist bits — William B. Greene

August 6, 2005 Shawn P. Wilbur

William Batchelder Greene (1818-1878), the “American Proudhon,” is a strangely underdocumented character, given his importance to the individualist anarchist tradition. He has yet to find his biographer, though many of his contemporaries considered his life […]

Radical Parables

August 2, 2005 Shawn P. Wilbur

[ezcol_2third] As I’ve been immersing myself in Bolton Hall’s work lately, I’ve been finding that nearly half of the book-length works consist of parables of one sort or another. The parable form is fairly common […]

[ezcol_2third] How the Doctors At Last Agreed A patient with a rope twisted tight around his fee was brought to the Sociologic Hospital. His skin was chafed and bruised by the cord, and fever burned […]

July 28, 2005 Shawn P. Wilbur

[ezcol_2third] I see that the Postanarchist list has landed back at the old digs at Yahoogroups, since the demise of the Spoon Collective, and that founder/moderator Jason Adams is blogging at Immanent Multiplicity. For those […]

[ezcol_2third] Just a follow-up to yesterday’s post: it seems there is a kind of basic contradiction at the heart of most government sponsored civil defense efforts. Such programs are necessary because, when push comes to […]

July 19, 2005 Shawn P. Wilbur

[ezcol_2third] Since the London bombings, the question has been raised again – just what sort of response should anarchists have to acts of terrorism? Actual responses have been a little weird sometimes, among the weirder […]

Bolton Hall – sketch for a bibliography

July 5, 2005 Shawn P. Wilbur

It’s been awhile since i’ve put together any new bibliographies. Since there seems to be interest in non-state Georgism, i guess i’ll keep at my work on Bolton Hall. At this stage, I’m concentrating on […]

July 2, 2005 Shawn P. Wilbur

[ezcol_2third] Bolton Hall, single tax anarchist – the song! The great things you find online! Kevin Carson’s recent post on Georgism led me back to the work of Bolton Hall. I read through his collection […]
