Anarchism and the Modern State

THE OPERATING SYSTEM book release event with Eric Laursen in conversation with Maia Ramnath

“To mark the publication of The Operating System, an accessible new interrogation of state governance, we’ll host author Eric Laursen in conversation with historian Maia Ramnath (Decolonizing Anarchism).

Anyone concerned with entrenched power, income inequality, lack of digital privacy, climate change, the amateurish response to COVID-19, or military-style policing will find eye-opening insights into how states operate and build more power for themselves—at our expense. The state won’t solve our most pressing problems, so why do we obey? It’s time to think outside the state.”
