I'm interested in herbalism, feminism and gender roles, permaculture, and more recently I've been trying to get more into the idea of wilderness squatting, learning more primitive skills and connecting anarchism with human rights in general, and tying that into taking better care of myself.

Its what got me to quit smoking, at least.

I still feel like a complete goon when it comes to a lot of these things, aside from feminism and anarchist theory. Any 'required reading' suggestions for permaculture/self sufficiency?

there are so many more than this, but offhand, these are books that come to mind!
-gaias's garden by toby hemenway for a super accessible intro to basic permaculture theory and strategy and application
-edible forest gardens by dave jacke for a really awesome in depth analysis of how to create ecologically regenerative food producing systems out of perennial plants that mimic the community niches and physical structure of a forest (which are incredibly healthy ecosystems),
-garden planet by william kotke for a very to the point, concise discussion of the inherent unsustainability of industrial civilization/why it will collapse/why and how permaculture needs to be our answer to sowing the seeds for a new culture that wuill rise out of the ashes,
-the country living handbook
-when disaster strikes: self sufficiency and preapring for the long emergency
-primitive skills 1 & 2 (i think thats the names) by the society ogf primitive technology
-wild fermnetation by sandor ellix katz

I'm currently at the Commonweal garden site of the Regenerative Design Institute (Regenerative Design Institute) in Bolinas, CA. Certainly not a radical or punk or anarchist place, but learning tons and that makes it worth it! So I get outta here in a month, and head...elsewhere?

Bolinas. (Pauses, sighs.)

Sounds like the shitty strain of anarchism to me. Sry, but fuck primitivist/individualist/drop out anarchism.

this isn't reactionary - i seen your post in another thread and you seem pretty smart - so I am really curious about an alternative to the anarchism that you don't agree with, what kind of anarchism would suit you better?

Class struggle anarchism. Libertarian Communism/Socialism, Autonomism, Anarcho - syndicalism etc etc etc. Less activisty/drop out of society. More organize your workplace/society. Think May of 68 in Paris. I love traveling and traveling culture, and I love anarchism, but the 2 don't really go together. Neither does being "self-sustainable" (not that its a bad thing - its just not political) The idea is to create a new world WITHIN the shell of the old. Not step outside of society and try to create your own little "anarkie island". I believe "The Revolution" will happen because regular working class people (who dont even consider themselves to be anarchist/socialists) will realize their power and take back the means of production.
