For instance, the first Belarusian anarchist, Siarhiej Kavalik, followed the ideas of Mikhail Bakunin, one of the principal founders of anarchist theory.

The influence of the Catalan revolution continues to exert on self-sufficiency initiatives in Spain and the current Kurdish revolution in Syria. Not only that, but the pacing of the film inspirationally connects anarchist theory to practice. Of course, a documentary that's 90 minutes long won't be able to explore theÃâà...

When white supremacist Richard Spencer got sucker-punched on video at the inauguration, many in the blossoming anarchist Twittersphere became armchair Nazi-punchers. In the history of anarchist theory and practice stretching back to the mid-19th century, there is a strand of violence (as well as ofÃâà...

To support my arguments, I will first provide anÃâà...
