New York City, a center of anarchist life, culture, struggle, and ideas for 150 years, hosts this exposition of books, zines, pamphlets, art, film/video, and other cultural and anti-political productions of the anarchist scene worldwide. In addition there will be panels, presentations, workshops, and skillshares to provide further opportunities to learn more and share your own experience and creativity.
The goal of the book fair is to enable people to connect with one another as well as to provide broader access to the rich and varied field of anarchist ideas and practices. Now is the perfect time to be exploring those ideas and practices and bringing them into play in our communities and the world.
Come meet local anarchists and others from all over the globe looking to connect with other anarchists. The Anarchist Book Fair is a place where the ideas, activism, ethics, creativity and history of the contemporary anarchist movement come together in an exciting weekend of community and collaboration.
Long ago the Book Fair adopted a policy of zero-tolerance for racist, sexist, queer-phobic, and other disrespectful behavior that works against collective liberation for all communities.
All free. new york city.

But your point is well taken. The forms of payment commonly accepted at least at last year's NYC anarcho-capitalist book fair were electronic ones, not cash, which certainly supports the big banks and the validity of virtual money. But why begrudge anarchists from making money at these things? What are they gonna do, give things away for free or accept trades of equal value?
Um, like literally actually

Um, like literally actually yes?
Now I'm not gonna tell you that participating in the capitalist techno-industrial machine that perpetuates war that's destroying the earth isn't *anarchist* even when it's a book with an anarchist title... But yeah. We could just give shit away for free.
you won't, but I will

It would be quite interesting to see how many of the books on sale at fairs like this are actually about imaginary or non-capitalist societies in which the trading of things and services of equal value -- that would be use value and not exchange value -- is practiced. Five percent? Twenty-five percent? More than that?
Seriously.
