Anarchy – now or never
Democracy is on the brink of collapse. Lies, corruption, and contempt for citizens are omnipresent, while autocrats around the world wait for their moment. But who says we have to put up with this? Sylvie-Sophie Schindler proposes leaving the party system behind and, as humanity, forging our own paths, free from hierarchies. Her book “Anarchy – now or never!” is a call for freedom: radical, intelligent, and deeply human. The author shows that anarchy is not a threat, but the most consistent form of humanity. The idea of a society without rulers was already being propagated in ancient Rome, but it never had a real chance. We can change that, without chaos, without violence. For anarchy is the greatest declaration of love for self-determined human beings.
