Default Is an anarchistic bookfair anarchistic?

Thread split from here. Excuse the lame title. You can pretend that it is "Are anarchistic bookfairs authentic or did the department of touristry invent them?" ~Luchsen


I found good people from The Victoria Anarchist Bookfair, and they will help me.

Problem solved

Isn't an organised Anarchist book event kind of defeating the Anarchist bit..?

It's possible to organize things without hierarchy.

Anarchy isn't when people die because the family doesn't come to the dining table when someone made something to eat.


Is this a good comparison?

Yes [ ]
No [x]

"Excuse me, but I think you are running my bookstall."
"YOUR bookstall? Oh, so we're all Big Shot Stall Owners now, are we? Nice!"
"Hey, I'm serious. I set up this bookstall, I priced the..."
"PRICED?!?! You are one fine anarchist you! Capitalist BASTARD!"
*throws books through the windows*
"Excuse me What is going on here?"
"Those punks are taking over my bookstall"
"Yeah. We organized an anarcho-syndicalistic syndicate to ensure the non-hierarchy and non-profit in book distribution, and rightly so. This greedy CAPITALIST is CHARGING for books he never wrote yet claim OWNERSHIP over!"
"Oh shut up. SHUT UP!"
"Ooooh. here he goes again, ordering.."
"SHUT UP! I ORDER YOU TO SHUT UP!"
"Who does he think he is? The King?"

Yep, bookfairs can be anarchistic but I'm not sure about any economical success.

Many people think of anarchy as a situation in which there is a total lack of organisation or control. But that’s chaos, not anarchism.

But to learn that, Romano, you have to know who Lewis Hyde is and read these strange artifacts called "Books".
