### Introduction

This is a rough attempt at showing the benefits of creating a bonus communalist library with AmuseWiki software, plus sketching out a vision of what a future library will look like.

Online libraries that run on AmuseWiki software provide high quality online web browser versions of texts, along with various other formats, like PDFs, plain text, HTML, EPUB, and XeLaTeX.

This means texts can be DIY printed to high quality formatting, plus at low ink cost, rather than trying to print from a photoscan.

All AmuseWiki sites also provide a way for distributors and friends to change the layout of the PDFs and to create collections of an arbitrary number of texts (1 or more). See the bookbuilder page.

The sites also have an advanced search engine where you can find a text you want to read by searching a short sentence and it will search the full contents of every text on the library.

Also, it standardizes the various formats and bad quality scans that exist of texts, for example I typed up this photocopied to death image so that people could find it easier to read:

There’s also lots of cool features like a text collections system people can incorporate:

Finally, with the library working like a wiki, you can have 1, a few, or many librarians deciding on what texts ultimately get published and deleted, however, anyone can submit edits and new texts, so it isn’t one person doing all the work.

### The Current Communalist Library Today

Welcome to the Online Library for the Communalism Discord. We have collected many works both directly and indirectly connected to Social Ecology, Libertarian Municipalism and Communalism. Hopefully you will find this resource useful.

#### Perspectives on Palestine

As genocide unfolds in Palestine, movements from around the world have expressed their solidarity with the brave resistance of the Palestinian people. These booklets discuss the history and context of the conflict, and look for lasting solutions.

#### Democratic Confederalism

Democratic Confederalism is the political philosophy developed by Kurdish freedom movement figurehead Abdullah Öcalan, who was inspired by Bookchin among others. Öcalan’s approach is based on decades of practical political organising, alongside an increased focus on women’s liberation, making it a topic of its own.

#### Jineolojî and the Women’s Revolution

The struggle of women within the Kurdish Freedom Movement represents one of the most radical and organised women’s movements on the globe. Inherently anti-capitalist, internationalist and anti-state, it sets the bar for other movements. Whilst topics related to women’s liberation and jineolojî are also discussed in the above section, these texts are for those looking to learn more in detail about the praxis, theory and history of the movement.

- Civilization: The Age of Masked Gods and Disguised Kings by Abdullah Öcalan

## A Future Bonus Communalist Library

### A call out for web developers

It’d be good to find a web developer interested in following this how to guide for setting up AmuseWiki software:

- <www.docs.anarchistlibraries.network/library/how-to-en>

Plus to be the main person that can be around to do a little site maintenance every now and again like be able to work out if a PDF with really big dimensions is messing up the website script.

There's a small one time payment the group Anarchist Federation of Cyber Communes (AF2C) can also offer as an incentive.

So, if anyone has the time and would be up for getting involved it’d be super appreciated. Our email address is:

- radicallibraries [at] proton [dot] me

Plus here’s the AF2C matrix chat that it’d be good for people to join, so that the group can vet peeps before giving access codes to the server:

- <www.matrix.to/#/#af2c-public:4d2.org>

Marco from Anarchist Libraries Network also offered to help tutor anyone who’d like a hand navigating the server files by emailing or messaging the #amusewiki IRC:

- hosting [at] anarchistlibraries [dot] network

- <www.web.libera.chat/#amusewiki>

Finally, if you don't think you have the web development experience, but would like to donate towards someone else having the time to build the website, you can donate via the link below, and leave a comment such as 'for the radical libraries commune':
