I don't think most anarchists need to read Kropotkin or Bakunin or Stirner or Proudhon to be able to grasp what anarchism is and what it hopes to achieve.
Libertarians and AnCaps tho . . .
It's like, "Bro. You're *almost* there. Yes, taxes are theft. But so is rent, interest, and profit. And even in a society with no cops or laws or jails, if you fuck someone's little kid, there's gonna be consequences, and you'll probably wish jails existed then. Read some Robert Anton Wilson or Emma Goldman because being an anarchist does *not* mean 'doing whatever you want' when those actions cause harm. Also, take off that silly hat."
