That sounds sensible and reasonable. You seem nice. An uneducated lout like you is just the person I’d want making that “interesting work generated from within that’s more accessible” that you mention.

The appeal of the internet is “free” exchange of information, people can pirate books all over the place. I’m of the opinion that an anarchist library should be exclusively a depository of anarchist texts by anarchists, with no fluff or filler, no need to include all texts that might interest anarchists, which potentially include all existing texts, since there is enough diversity of anarchists that may have enough creativity and critical thinking to find value in them or add value to them, to put it in a way.

I’d say postanarchists texts have a place in the library, while including Deleuze’s texts is reaching (I know they’re already there). Anarchist encounters with his writing, or any other, definitely qualifies.

All that is, of course, besides my opinion of his work. If you say “the vast majority of anarchist texts are reductionist quasi-Marxist polemics against the man”, I’ll say the vast majority of Deleuze’s word count is obscurantist schizo-metaphysical divagations against things making straightforward sense. He was very fond of Marx as well, perhaps much more than many anarchists, or at least the ones I like. But to each, their own. Have a good day.
