Doing some Anarchism 101 reading for DSA reasons. One thing I like about anarchist lit thus far is that they publish a lot of short, accessible things -- pamphlets and zines and the like. The other best bit is that much of it is available for free, either because it is very old or because anarchists DGAF about their copyrights.
One of the famous ones of these is Errico Maltesta's Anarchy, a pamphlet or essay laying out the very basics of what "anarchism" means and what anarchists believe. It is obviously not very theoretically dense and does not rebut every anticipatable argument, because if it did, it would be a lot longer. But it does give you a decent taste of how anarchism defines concepts like "government" and "the state" and quite what they think about them (spoilers: they're against 'em).
