@xianc78 @ryo you would need to read more into his work i imagine; his earlier works appear very Panarchistic... then in 1844, something happened, probably hit his head too hard, did too much drugs or idk what hahahahah

'Cause what Alcott and Brownson tried to do, was synthesis Classical Socialism with Transcendentalism, but Alcott and Charles Lane seemed to have to take a completely different turn and went to communalism instead :blobderphappy:


Even Emerson and Thoreau were like "yo my dudes, wtf, your idealism is whack!"

and the Dark Romanticists were like "I hate this; this is so cursed smh."

I critique Alcott's technological regressivism too tbh.
