    I gave this a bit of side-eye at the start because they were using sinister adjectives for anarchism, but it’s pretty solid all the way through.

      I didn’t even think of that! I can see how it looks like it’s about to disparage anarchism at the start now that I watch it again, lol.

      This documentary is what really sealed the deal for me on anarchism, and got me researching it properly with all the jumping off points of history (especially the spanish civil war, I don’t shut up about that to my family). Glad you liked it though man. :D
