Worshiping Power: An Anarchist View of Early State Formation by Peter Gelderloos

4.0

I think the historical knowledge and the ideas in this book are amazing. I have no regret to spent enormous amount of time to read it. I 100% agree with the comments above regarding the structure of the text though. I felt like a great editor could help the situation, and make the content inside the chapters more structured. Anyway, highly recommended to anyone who is interested in understanding of whose interests states with its party system usually serve and how such unities as states have been appearing in the world, and how the world functioned before states happened to us :) Now, few people know that there is a possibility to live in a community with its politics and with no states and party politics. So enjoy your discoveries of different societies, have a great travel, and be prepared to suffer a bit :)
