About this listen
Anarchism has been both a vision of a peaceful, cooperative society — and an ideology of revolutionary terror. Since the term itself — anarchism — is a negation, there is a great deal of disagreement on what the positive alternative would look like. The black flag comes in many colors.
The Anarchist Handbook is an opportunity for all these many varied voices to speak for themselves, from across the decades. These were human beings who saw things differently from their fellow men. They fought and they loved. They lived and they died. They disagreed on much, but they all shared one vision: Freedom.

Critical race theory is one of the hottest and most controversial topics in the world today, but what is it, really? Rightly understood, critical race theory is a reinvention of an older, terrible idea, Marxism, using race "as the central construct for understanding inequality" in place of economic class. That is, critical race theory is race Marxism. The evidence of this claim is so overwhelming upon even casual examination that it is a shock that it isn't immediately plain to everyone who encounters it.

Story
Ordinary Men is the true story of Reserve Police Battalion 101 of the German Order Police, which was responsible for mass shootings as well as round-ups of Jewish people for deportation to Nazi death camps in Poland in 1942. Browning argues that most of the men of RPB 101 were not fanatical Nazis but, rather, ordinary middle-aged, working-class men who committed these atrocities out of a mixture of motives, including the group dynamics of conformity, deference to authority, role adaptation, and the altering of moral norms to justify their actions.

Story
Some say that this work, found in a safe-box in the port area of Kowloon, was dictated because Bronze Age Pervert refuses to learn what he calls "the low and plebeian art of writing". It isn't known how this work was transcribed. The contents are pure dynamite. He explains that you live in ant farm. That you are observed by the lords of lies, ritually probed. Ancient man had something you have lost: confidence in his instincts and strength, knowledge in his blood. BAP shows how the Bronze Age mind-set can set you free from this iron prison and help you embark on the path of power.

Performance
-
Story
On Anarchism provides the reasoning behind Noam Chomsky's fearless lifelong questioning of the legitimacy of entrenched power. In these essays, Chomsky redeems one of the most maligned ideologies, anarchism, and places it at the foundation of his political thinking. Chomsky's anarchism is distinctly optimistic and egalitarian. Moreover, it is a living, evolving tradition that is situated in a historical lineage; Chomsky's anarchism emphasizes the power of collective, rather than individualist, action.

It provides a sweeping presentation of Austrian economic theory, a reconstruction of many aspects of that theory, a rigorous criticism of alternative schools, and an inspiring look at a science of liberty that concerns nearly everything and should concern everyone.

Predicting society’s present addiction to technology, our challenges with data privacy, and the dramatic increase in drug overdoses and depression that have accompanied a technology-induced lack of purpose, The Unabomber’s vision of the future has become our reality. Of course, his means were disgusting and condemnable. But his message is more important than ever. If we want to thrive in an age where automation and artificial intelligence and rapidly making humans obsolete, it is our responsibility to understand and prepare for the technological machine we are up against.

In For a New Liberty: The Libertarian Manifesto, Rothbard proposes a once-and-for-all escape from the two major political parties, the ideologies they embrace, and their central plans for using state power against people. Libertarianism is Rothbard's radical alternative that says state power is unworkable and immoral, and ought to be curbed and finally overthrown.

What a Treat!
I won't lie - it gave me some kicks to see that I was already familiar with many of the essays in this book. But as an audiobook I'd say this is a must-buy whether you've got the essays within it in your library/archive or not.
I love that Malice comissioned a cast of hip names familiar to 2020s dissidents to read these essays written by heavy-hitter American anarchists from centuries past for this audiobook. They aren't quite as competent readers as you might get in a typical audiobook narrated exclusively by pros, but they know their way around a microphone well enough. The novelty of listening to Mikhaila Peterson voice Emma Goldman's biting words (among other choice pairings) more than makes up for less-than-perfect audiobook cadence in some of the essays.
The essays themselves are great and give plenty of insight into the diversity and depth of the American anarchist tradition. And boy oh boy do those 19th century and early-mid 20th century anarchists know how to get you hyped up for the cause. Particularly the so-called "left anarchists". They may miss the mark on economics and property to some extent, and as a proponent of agorism and pacifism (I'm what could be called a right anarchist I guess) I obviously can't endorse some of the extreme measures left anarchists have promoted as I dogmatically believe fostering peaceful counter economies and cultures is the only way forward (and some form of natural property rights is critical to that end). Nonetheless it's inspiring to listen to these erudite, passionate and uncompromising bada***s give a big ol' middle finger to that hateful network of institutions we call the state. Throughout the book you'll hear these writers strike at the very core of statism with style, rigor, impeccable reason and on firm moral and pragmatic grounds (IMO).
Now more than ever it gives me strength and a renewed sense of purpose to be reminded of the rich lineage the torch of liberty carries with it, particularly in the US. It's all the more reason to desperately keep that flame alive in these dreadful times.

Good examples of Anarchists ideas
This audiobook covers many different approaches to Anarchism by presenting over twenty essays from a very diverse group of writers (dating from the 18th Century to the 2010’s) all with a common perspective; the believe in the individual and the importance of freedom.

Smarter than you’d expect from an underwear model!
Great intro to the history/philosophy behind the wide spectrum of anarchism!
I bought the audio book because my old-man brain was just not retaining anything as I read my physical copy.
My only complaint is the mixed quality of narrators. Malice got a bunch of his internet-famous friends to read each chapter, which made a few of the chapters almost unlistenable. It probably would have just been better if Malice read every chapter himself or rotated between the stronger narrators. Some of the chapters that I was looking forward felt like a letdown because the narrator’s delivery was weak or unengaging.
I’ll definitely read again at some point, but will skip some of the chapters that were harder to listen to.
