More like an old man got bullied by a bunch of hypocritical posers. I believe it's unimportant what embarrassment Murray Bookchin suffered at the hands of whoever, whenever. What's important are his ideas, and that they are preserved understood, and further enhanced.

Yes, I believe the social ecological potentialities Bookchin lays out can be further cultivated by society and individuals. Projects like Cooperation Jackson and democratic confederalism in Rojava. In a hegelian sense I think we can manifest progress towards ideas like Post-scarcity Anarchism.
Haven't fully listen to it yet (gotta move for now, sadly), but I'm curious, what's your favorite book from Bookchin ? Why ? (there's no wrong answer to intimate questions)
Post scarcity, and some people say anarchism isn't overly optimistic. 😄 "Pacifically and harmoniously.... eliminated" Today analogical tigers, tomorrow the world? Lol. No never, not actually. New arguments would develop about why the tiger eating your flesh is very bad for the "community". Eliminate power? or even its appearance? With what pray tell? Good intentions.... 🤣🤪🤭😵☠
The Hopi would not, perhaps, have left the earth and traveled to the stars. Murray asserts the age old desire for humans to "Get Back To The Garden", a modern Luddite, a true regressive thinker full of nostalgia for a time that only exists in his fantastical imagined truth.
@@hassankhan-jg1dx He speaks in non sequiturs from there on, he self-contradicts, and does look back to a fantasy garden of "humans" that never existed. "Hellenistic", he says, pure nostalgia. We are moving off the planet, and expanding into the universe, regression and contraction is not going to happen.
He quite obviously states he's a communist if you read his work. But you obviously never would, thinking of Lenin and Marx and Stalin when you think of Communism, and not once mentioning Kropotkin, Bookchin, and Bakunin.
@@ThatCamel104 Communism is a disgustingly bastardized word, it is meant to be a pretty broad term, yet almost always is only aligned with stalinism by people who have never bothered to read at all about theory.
Is he not a libertarian communist , which is essentially anarchist? Who gives a fuck anyway. He’s promoting the idea of anarchism as a remedy to the vast majority of western society’s problems, and he’s right to do so
Glad I googled Murray Bookchin
Omg someone actually did it!! Is it because you saw a wifi network called google murray bookchin?
“If we don’t do the impossible, we will wind up with unthinkable” amazing, and applies so much today
If we are not careful, we will say silly things and believe them profound

that's not "breaking with anarchism". that's holding fast to anarchism no matter the opposition.

The intro music is killing me 😂
Anybody know the name of the peice at the beginning? The one that sounds like the end of the universe?

That’s some creepy music at the start.

Don't we see today the exact manifestation of all of this? And perhaps glimpses of the way forward?

All of them, but I am readying Ecology of Freedom right now, and it's quite enthralling.

Wtf are you even talking about?
you clearly didn't watch the video. He literally says the opposite of what you're claiming he said in this comment at 37:25

So? I'd be fine with not "traveling to the stars" if it meant we weren't facing extinction.
