Daha Az Devlet Daha Çok Toplum

Capitalism continues to plunder humanity and nature, and to subordinate the values that make humans human to the economy. Moreover, while the ideologists of capitalism declare the end of history, ideologies, and politics and try to devalue all kinds of alternative politics, the distinction between rulers and ruled becomes even sharper in new technocracies. The centralist, authoritarian, determinist, industrialist and statist tradition that has prevailed in the history of the left, far from being an alternative, has not even been able to realize the illusion of freedom that capitalism gave people. It has now become inevitable for the left to recontextualize itself as a tradition of freedom and produce concrete, applicable projects....
In this book, Cantzen evaluates the thoughts of classical advocates of the anarchism movement, such as Proudhon, Kropotkin, Bakunin, Landauer and Malatesta, which is completely unknown in our country and is unfairly identified with 'terrorism' and 'turmoil', in terms of their current applicability, and shows that anarchism can make vital contributions to the 'project production' process in question. is showing. He says that in an environment where social democracy is blocked and the traditional Marxist line based on the working class has become ineffective, an anarchism that is anti-authoritarian, anti-violent, self-managed, in favor of uncompromising freedom and mutual aid, and decentralist federative structures has come to the fore. Its main goal is the liberation of people from all kinds of domineering structures through the processes of "socialization of the state" and "de-stateization of society". He argues that the struggle for this should be continued not on one but on many fronts, and that this process will lead to enrichment, not chaos.
Cantzen, who attaches special importance to ecology, explains how the anthropocentric and industrialist mentality destroys nature, while drawing attention to the dangers of some environmentalists' ideas that "nature is a source of meaning and value in itself and humans must keep up with it." He emphasizes that humans ultimately give meaning to nature and states that nature must be prevented from being an unlimited area of plunder at the disposal of humans.
Less State, More Society is a book that advocates demanding freedom for ourselves, not for future generations, and implementing it immediately. For those who are tired of postponing life and looking for real alternatives.
