Post-anarchism is an anarchist philosophy that employs post-structuralist and postmodernist approaches

Post-anarchism is an anarchist philosophy that employs post-structuralist approaches. It is not a single coherent theory, but rather refers to the combined works of any number of post-structuralists such as Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Lacan; postmodern feminists such as Judith Butler; and post-Marxists such as Ernesto Laclau, Chantal Mouffe, Jacques Rancière; with those of the classical anarchists, with particular concentration on Emma Goldman, Max Stirner, and Friedrich Nietzsche.

Common concepts within post-anarchism include:

  • the misalignment of the subject in relation to discourse
  • the denaturalization of the body and sexuality
  • the rejection of the repressive hypothesis
  • Foucault's genealogy
  • the deconstruction of the binary oppositions of Western thought
  • the deconstruction of gender roles through feminist post-structuralism

Which texts are the best critiques or counterarguments to post(structuralist/modern)anarchism?

I remember previously seeing a post on this thread where someone mentioned an article that people should read for a good critique of postanarchism, however it appears that thread was deleted. The commenter mentioned the article would be a good supplement to reading postanarchist texts. Hopefully someone will share that article here, but I’d like to learn about other good critiques.

Can someone help me?

I want to understand what post anarchism is and how it pertains to post structuralism, postmodernists, Nietzsche, Foucault and what the end game is. Also how is it to be implemented?
