NOTE: This post is a temporary replacement of the original megathread (https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/56268615). mander.xyz, my main instance, is down for some weeks, which prevents me to edit and update the previous megathread. Thus, until mander is back up, we'll have to use another, temporary, megathread.

Hey y’all!

This is the megathread for the reading group of the book An Anarchist FAQ. Here I will be updating the post body with links to each new post of the reading group. Keep an eye on it as everytime a new post is made progressing further into the book, a link should be added here. Also the title will be updated each week, to denote the week we're in.
