What are some good resources I could read to inform myself on the Anarchist/Anarcho-Communist definition of "Authority"?

Books, pamphlets, manifestos, you name it/whatever. Please just leave out terminally online "bread"tubers, thank you.

Ideally from a few reputable Anarchist to get a better picture. The literature doesn't have to be exclusively about authority, but should mention it in relative detail.

Edit: Since I rightfully got called out on the following sentence in another thread as being demeaning of online educators work

Please just leave out terminally online "bread"tubers, thank you.

I should maybe clarify that I meant people like Contrapoints who have delightfully little to do with any kind of leftistm, let alone Anarchism

https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/mikhail-bakunin-what-is-authority

Bakunin is just about as 'reputable anarchist anarchist' as it gets.

Maybe not the best explanatory text but I like it. The text five offered you is also quite good.

Hope this helps.

The anarchist library is an INCREDIBLE resource that I suggest you keep bookmarked. Theres spectacular stuff there by spectacular writers. From Bakunin tk Umberto Eco and Naom Chomsky etc.

Of course I have it bookmarked, right next to Marxist internet Archive (which also hosts various anarchists IIRC) and libcom
