I'll join sure.

Another thing yall might be interested in reading https://www.foodnotbombs.net/anarchist_cookbook.html

It's not the one you're thinking of. It's an actual vegan cookbook and guide to mutual aid and feeding the masses.

[–] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 9 months ago

Glad you're with us :) And thanks! I'll read on the cookbook after wrapping this up

Yo that sounds interesting, will add it to my to-read list (might read it within this decade😆)

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago

I suggest reading it sooner than later. It was written by my personal friend Keith McHenry the founder of Food Not Bombs.

I don't have the capacity to join, but still wanted to say that I think this is a cool idea and that I wish you all the best regarding it!

Also I find the interaction/integration with Hexbear regarding this kinda wholesome ~w~

[–] A_cook_not_a_chef@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

I'm in. I attempted this on my own a year or two ago and did not make it all the way through. It will be nice to have folks to discuss with.

[–] xiwi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Tomorrow's Sunday and a perfect day for reading! (Too hot to do anything else anyway)

[–] xiwi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Scrap that, I've been reading it during work so i can get paid for it lmao.

Not much to say about the intro, nice introduction, likewise for the first part. I like them hammering on the fact that these social theorists didn't really invent the ideas, they put the discussions that were held by people in to writing, ironically if we focus too much on the writers and theorists (without discredeting them!), we can fall in the same "great man theory" style thinking.

[–] BlastboomStrice@mander.xyz 2 points 9 months ago

Yeah and lets you know that theres a community behind keep it alive, not a handful of "expert authorities"

[–] ColdSideOfYourPillow@piefed.social 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I think now that Im reading the introductions again (at least the "20years after") after having read all of section A, I understand many more references and things are kind of clearer😅

Those intros had kinda slowed me down back when I had started reading it

[–] alzymologist@sopuli.xyz 7 points 9 months ago

Somehow I never saw this manuscript before. I already am respectively skeptical of a few statements, totally must read!

[–] f@quokk.au 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Flying to Sweden tomorrow, the epub is so ready on my (de-amazoned) Kindle! Thanks, @irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 9 months ago

If there's any problems with it, let me know!
I had to edit it a bit manually because the script i used for it was pretty crap.
