    I feel like many great anarchist communicators are (semi) anonymous and publish texts as / via collectives. thinking about individuals that publish their work, Peter Gelderloos comes to mind

    If you are more flexible regarding the medium - so not just straight up texts - it gets easier to find anarchists with extensive libraries of their opinions, such as YouTubers like Andrewism, Anark and Zoe Baker or writers such as Margaret Killjoy

    I have to admit that my examples are not that similar, but I know the person running https://paradox-a.de/ is pretty academic, but most of their texts are german.

    Not easy these days to survive in academia as an anarchist.

    There are obviously other anarchist thinkers, but lower profile and not able to publish as much.

    Sadly I don’t know if we currently have people with the scientific knowledge of Graeber which was invaluable.

    Personally speaking, the only person that can teach you about anarchy is yourself.

    Look around, see how things work around you, especially constructs like hierarchy, property and rule. You don’t need to be against those constructs but if you hold a healthy critical mindset you will see how everything remains build on the foundation of natural anarchy.

    Anarchism (as internalised by me for myself) is not about being anti order or pro chaos but about recognising the inherent freedom of each individual and respecting it for the ancient truth it is.

    I have zero knowledge about if this aligns with other thinkers, but my desire for building a better world together where all people can prosper and be free in respect to each other is as strong as i have seen in any other fellow anarchists.
