>Oh, and might I add, The Anarchist Cookbook isn't flawed so much in that it presents violence as a means to an end, but rather that actually following the recipes will likely get you killed or maimed. Hopefully people reading the book already knew this.
The Vice's Guide episode where they try out recipes makes this crystal clear. The napalm experiment was probably the most eye opening.

- unfunco 13y agoThe recipes cooked by Vice were not recipes from the book, the were recipes from the electronic version which bears little resemblance to the printed version.
- tomhschmidt 13y agoCould you elaborate on this?
- sirsar 13y agoThe Anarchist Cookbook is the title of a dead-tree book, which the article is about. The Anarchist Cookbook is also the title of an unaffiliated text file containing explosives recipes.
- dTal 13y agoAnd yet the Anarchist's Cookbook, the original that is, is widely available in electronic form. Are you saying there is another file, that is also widely read, that also contains explosive recipes, that is also titled "The Anarchist's Cookbook", that is completely unrelated to the original?
- vezzy-fnord 13y agoYes. Several of them, actually. This has led to lots of confusion, though the original recipes are hardly any less safe. See here: http://www.anarchistcookbookz.com/the-anarchist-cookbook-faq/ http://www.anarchistcookbookz.com/the-anarchist-cookbook-faq...
- mcphilip 13y agoThanks for the info. The narrator of the Vice Guide episode claims that the paper version was appropriated into the electronic version so I got the impression that these experiments where related to book mentioned in the guardian article. Confusing.
- tripzilch 13y agointeresting! this link should be at the top of the thread since at least half of the people in this discussion seem to be talking about the electronic version(s).
- robbyking 13y agoEye opening in what way?
