poenaestante's review against another edition
4.0
An expansive and well-resesrched biography of an (unfortunately) lesser known radical thinker of the 20th century written by the woman who was his student, collaborator, and companion during the last few decades of his illustrious career and life. Though I don't march in lockstep with all the ideas Bookchin puts forward, his vision is more in line with my political beliefs than nearly any other I've encountered and the fact that his libertarian municipalist approach articulated in the late 70s/early 80s is only being seriously considered and put into practice (in Rojava, Kurdistan) is a testament to how far ahead of his time he was. Bonus points for the take down of Bernie Sanders during his time as Burlington mayor. I respect the Senator but the dude was and is...problematic.
