Re relevant-to-libcom articles, there's an article about Buddhist anarchism (for anyone who's interested in that) by Gary Snyder in some Fifth Estate issue, but I don't recall being particularly impressed with it. I was going to upload the version of the article that appears in Snyder's book Earth House Hold. I thought it was archive-worthy given how Snyder was the person Kerouac based his Japhy Ryder character on in his Dharma Bums book, which has quite a few anti-capitalist themes.[1] It also seems like Snyder is one of the main people who has attempted to connect Buddhism to anarchism.

1. "At the same time, being a Northwest boy with idealistic tendencies, he [Japhy Ryder] got interested in old-fashioned IWW anarchism and learned to play the guitar and sing old worker songs to go with his Indian songs and general folksong interests." (ch. 2)

I think I may have come across some items that I might want to put up on Libcom. Except I forgot how to publish on the site. Tips or redirection?

Do you see a "Submit content" button at the top of the site syndicalist? If so you can go there and submit whatever you have as an "Article." If you don't see a "Submit content" button then you'll likely need permissions first.

Great. Thanks! But apparently I have become less than technically talent these years. I can't remember how to attach the attachment after scanning it. A quick reminder would be helpful

When you’re on the ‘create article’ page, you have to scroll down to ‘Add a new file.’ You click on ‘choose file,’ it should allow you to upload the document.
