Murray Bookchin
Murray Bookchin (1921 – 2006) was an American libertarian
socialist author, orator, and philosopher. A pioneer in the ecology movement,
Bookchin was the founder of the social ecology movement within anarchist,
libertarian socialist and ecological thought.
He was the author of two dozen books on politics,
philosophy, history, and urban affairs as well as ecology. In the late 1990s he
became disenchanted with the strategy of political Anarchism and founded his
own libertarian socialist ideology called Communalism.
Bookchin was an anti-capitalist and vocal advocate of the
decentralisation of society along ecological and democratic lines. His writings
on libertarian municipalism, a theory of face-to-face, assembly democracy, had
an influence on the Green movement and anti-capitalist direct action groups
such as Reclaim the Streets.
