β€œTo admit rulership anywhere is to admit it everywhere.” I really enjoy that statement.

Really gets to the core of the issue, especially in the context of human and non-human matters. Ruling, domination, exploitation, etc is the common enemy of all life forms it seems.

I'm reading Bookchin's Post-Scarcity Anarchism right now. It's prescient. Great piece, I'm going to have to add Black Earth Wisdom to my reading list.

Somewhere in between. I've read his Philosophy of Social Ecology, and From Urbanization to Cities. Any recommendations for what I should check out next?

nice! the only other longer works by him that I've read are The Next Revolution and The Spanish Anarchists. The Next Revolution is sort of an easier to read From Urbanization to Cities, but there's some distinct stuff in there. But I definitely found Post-Scarcity to be the stand-out
