Was James C. Scott an Anarchist?

Video in which I explain that James C. Scott was not an anarchist by quoting him saying that he was not an anarchist. Source: James C. Scott, Two Cheers for Anarchism: Six Easy Pieces on Autonomy, Dignity, and Meaningful Work and Play (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2012), xii, xvi. New York Times obituary claims that "James C. Scott, one of the world’s most widely read social scientists, whose studies on why top-down government schemes of betterment often fail and how marginalized groups subtly undermine authority led to his embrace of anarchism as a political philosophy" https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/28/books/james-scott-dead.html Support me on patreon https://www.patreon.com/anarchozoe If you'd like to make a one time donation https://ko-fi.com/anarchozoe Follow me on social media: https://www.instagram.com/anarchozoe/ https://twitter.com/anarchopac Buy my book Means and Ends: The Revolutionary Practice of Anarchism in Europe and the United States: US shipping - https://www.akpress.org/means-and-ends.html UK shipping - https://www.akuk.com/means-and-ends-the-revolutionary-practice-of-anarchism-in-europe-and-the-united-states.html audiobook - https://tantor.com/means-and-ends-zoe-baker.html Check out my other videos: what is the proletariat? https://youtu.be/WnxpfpXF_es?si=HqI7WmciAqeh2khd anarchism and democracy https://youtu.be/3sfnwFV92XY?si=gKM30LY3gvJPYAYH anarchists are not naive about human nature https://youtu.be/vPzAn5fo60k?si=it3xKFnn_t2oJbN6 anarchism as a way of life https://youtu.be/VP31dPtbHLc?si=QRQyYrE05Lk0MMTb anarchist counter culture in Spain https://youtu.be/a30GiaJknU4?si=_448uHI9kEa_n2bd the best feminist you've never heard of: He-Yin Zhen https://youtu.be/phOdLapw6x8?si=gEjXgOZH-KB9Z-8j
