Writer of "The Anarchist Cookbook" Denounces it

The Anarchist Cookbook has nothing to do with Anarchism and it gives a bad name to Anarchists. Its books like that which makes people think Anarchists are terrorists. Fuck "The Anarchist Cookbook"!

 

I prefer the vegan cookbook "The REAL Anarchist Cookbook". I'll scan my copy and put it up here soonish.

 

I HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH ANARCHY THOUGH

 

doesnt matter to much does it? people pick it up becasue it has a good titale, your not supposed to, but it is human anture to judge a book by its cover, if there were two books in a store, one of them was "english anarchism:the founders" and it had a picture of Ian Bone on the cover and the other was "fuck them! you can bring the system down!" and it had a picture of a kid with a mohawk kicking the crap of of a cop.. i think i have a pretty good guess at which would sell.. regardless of what was inside the books.

marketing is everything, when i was younger i bought "to kill a mockingbird" expecting what the title would imply, same with books like "my teachers funeral"

 

Anarchist Cookbook?

How reliable is it? I heard it was a bit dodgy.

Re: Anarchist Cookbook?

There is another book out there called Steal This Book. It's a good read even though it was written in 1970. It tells you how to make different kind of bombs and how to survive with little to no money. It covers a lot of the different parts of the counter culture. It might have been directed towards hippies, but you have to remember it's 1970. More on it here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steal_This_Book.

I've never read the Anarchist Cookbook, but I've heard it's not what all the hype builds it up to be.

 

Re: Anarchist Cookbook?

Lol that's the reason I asked about reliability. Not that I have anything of that nature planned.

 

Re: Anarchist Cookbook?

The Cookbook is notoriously dodgy, yr likely to either kill yrself or be disappointed cos nothing happens with a number of the suggested devices.

Hoffman's 'Steal This Book' is rather out of date, a lot of the scams suggested wouldn't work anymore. Besides, he's a fucking hippie.

It again goes to show how some decisions made, when caught up in the Zeitgeist (though understandable), can turn around and bite you in the arse; or, to use Ungov's signature quote: "The Frankenstein monster you created's turned against you, now you're hated"

I wonder what kind of cook book these peeps have??

Im not sure what time period this here map of direct actions represents...

Not saying I support the book ('cause a lot of it is stupid although still appealing to my sense of humor) but... I never quite understand why it is okay for the fucking State to kill virtually whomever they want in their quest to maintain power or whatever the fuck they wanna do, but the moment someone throws a water bottle it's a big fucking hoopla. I'm reminded of that scene with the Joker in the first Batman movie, and people who directed or whatever the fuck these movies are in fact shitheads I know. But... it still seems to me that a truckful of soldiers can get blown up, or an Iraqi woman can be raped by said soldiers, and everyone goes on the fuck with their daily stupid lives but the moment someone in black smashes a window to a fucking store and prevents people buying shit FOR A DAY then everyone's all like "OOOOHHH violent, eveeeeilll protesters!" and even the anarch-liberals say the same thing. So yeah... statements like that do little but cause me to roll my eyes because most often they come from a sense of priviledge hippie shit and not from the real world.... and if the fucking pigs come into your house without a fucking warrant with guns and you decide to defend your home with yer revolver well that's your business now isn't it?

 

anarchist cookbook

hi i was looking for the anarchist cookbook online and found a free PDF file for it, better than paying around £15 for it . anyways heres the link
http://www.freeinfosociety.com/pdfs/mis ... ok2000.pdf stay crustie

 

Earth first or some such put out a manual on monkey wrenching that was far more practical though no less illegal, it may still be found on the net if ur lucky. No bangs, no killing, just simple fucking up the machinery in a safe non hazardous manner. Not as testosterone fizzing as the fantasies in the cookbook but far more useful and way less lethal (however if you seriously want a bang, check out the freely available list of things that shouldn't be mixed, in your local highway/road safety code as it applies to the transportation of chemicals)

 

Im currently reading the cook book and there is a lot of bull shit in it.

 

I haven't read it in a while, but I think the original purpose of The Anarchist Cookbook was NOT to instruct people how to improvise weapons or make drugs, etc. but to educate people on how these things could be done so the average citizen could protect themselves from harm.

Also I wouldn't advise anybody to try any of the recipes or techniques outlined in The Anarchist Cookbook as I have been reliably informed many are incomplete, and those that are verbatim are dangerous, and could kill somebody if something went wrong in the process.

Also EVERYTHING in Steal This Book is out of date. Modified technology made sure of this decades ago.

These books are good to have in one's library for educational purposes and historical references only. As the announcer on television always say, DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!
