True, take Graeber instead
Idk. He's alright for baby anarchists, I think.
It's not like Bakunin was too great on everything, either.
Reminder: Chomsky was a friend of Jeffrey Epstein.

Actually I'd be cool with dumping Bakunin from this image for his anti-Semitism. Actually actually, I'd be cool dumping all the people from the left side of the image and replacing them with specific books or articles because IMO hero-worship is a bad look for anarchists. We can read those authors' books without glazing those authors.
who’s chomsky? I stole this meme
Chomsky is the old dude in the upper right hand corner of the left-libertarian side. Although Chomsky claims to be an anarcho-syndicalist and wrote Manufacturing Consent, he was in the Epstein files:
Chomsky also quite explicitly supported russia after the full-scale Ukraine invasion started. So yeah, he's all kinds of asshole.
oh yeah, that’s fuck up, i’ll edit the meme
Also if you're editing, it's probably a good idea to toss Bakunin too.
I’ve already figured that out from other comments and have edited him out, thank you for letting me know
Noam Chomsky is (was?) a linguistics professor at MIT who is mainly known for his social commentary and criticism.
