{"product_id":"9781943687060","title":"A Critique of Anarchist Communism: 45th Anniversary Edition","description":"\u003ci\u003eA Critique of Anarchist Communism\u003c\/i\u003e by Ken Knudson has finally been printed as intended nearly a half-century after it was written.\u003cbr\u003eBill Dwyer, Editor of the British journal \u003ci\u003eAnarchy\u003c\/i\u003e, commissioned the essay 1971, but the publication went under before it saw print. \u003ci\u003eLibertarian Analysis\u003c\/i\u003e sought to publish this essay, but the American quarterly also folded just before it was to appear. A mere excerpt was published in \u003ci\u003eThe Voluntaryist\u003c\/i\u003e by Carl Watner in 1983, but the full essay remained unpublished. Svein Olav Nyberg broke the curse in 1992 when he serialized it across twelve issues of his Egoist e-zine \u003ci\u003eNon Serviam\u003c\/i\u003e. The essay was then published in parts by egoist-feminist Wendy McElroy at her website wendymcelroy.com. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Critique of Anarchist Communism\u003c\/i\u003e argues that \"Anarchist Communism\" is a contradiction in terms. Knudson argues as an Egoist Anarchist inspired by the writings of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, William B. Greene, Benjamin R. Tucker and Max Stirner. \u003ci\u003eA Critique of Anarchist Communism\u003c\/i\u003e opens wide the divide between socialism and individualism.\u003cbr\u003eThis issue of the Stand Alone journal finally publishes the original essay as a single work, with a new Foreword by Mr. Knudson.","brand":"Underworld Amusements","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033838895344,"sku":"9781943687060","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781943687060_p0.jpg?v=1763789430","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781943687060","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
