Today I came across The Art of Not Being Governed: An Anarchist History of Upland Southeast Asia, by James Scott.  I have encountered arguments on anarchist societies in Iceland, the American Wild West, and Spain, but had no idea that such a society existed in Southeast Asia.  The book seems like it would be a fascinating read.  Has anyone studied this topic? 

Here's a quick link:

Robert Graham has a 3 volume set on the history of Anarchism. I only have the first volume but it is a series of writings by the most famous anarchist writers. Very good series.

I know the first volume actually deals with Pacific countries like Korea, Japan, China and I think mayyybe the south pacific. I can't remember exactly.

These need to be pdf'd.

Ron Paul is for self-government when compared to the Constitution. He's an anarcho-capitalist. Proof.
