Just reading the Foreward and Introduction I feel such a strong resonance to this book. It may not reflect my current identity, but it absolutely taps into my values and thought processes for how it engages with the world, exposing punks limitations and contradictions with anarchism, whilst absolutely reaffirming the culture's value and vehicle for spreading anarchism.

Really enjoying this. Especially the critique of punk as part of neo-liberal ideology and its contradictions. Also really appreciate how anarchist punk engages outside the 'West' for instance in aparthied South Africa, during and post right wing dictatorships in South America, or with authoritarian communist states. Really thought provoking.
