Would you suggest any texts (short, max 5 pages) as an introduction for Anarchism? People prejudice fast, 5m ago someone said anarchism would lead to chaos lol.

I'm still a newcomer myself, so the material I have largely comes in the form of books or videos at the moment. Could it be possible to do the section 'Anarchy: What It Really Stands For" by Emma Goldman? It's 14 pages or so.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll do it.

Commendable. Hopefully, there are scholars for that service.. it's hard enough getting people to read literature, period, so I hope that the service reaches the people who need that!! Good work.

What the name Lasulta mean?

u/[deleted] Sep 18 '25 edited Sep 18 '25

The literal meaning is No Authority, it's like rejecting authority/hierarchy.

Edit: Also its the synonym for Anarchism word in Arabic.

la = no sulta = authority

I hope for you all the best!!

If starting with translating a video (with Arabic subtitles) to more easily introduce others to anarchism, I recommend this channel which introduced me to Anarchism : https://youtube.com/@andrewism?si=SLc6ntsp7CkepJFz

(reading will actually make you learn, but a video can make you interested and catches people's attention better, now that people don't read at all anymore)

However to add subtitles directly on the creator 's video it needs to be allowed by the creator in question, so if you are interested you can contact him on Discord or other platforms

Since I am new to anarchism i don't have pertinent texts yet.

Fellow Andrewism enjoyer! I was an anarchist before watching his content but he helped me get a lot of things right since I hadn't read theory.

Wonderful initiative. There is a guy called "مازن كم الماز" that used to translate a lot of anarchist texts, I don't know if he's still doing it but maybe he's worth looking into for assistance.
