Both.
I have an excess of computer time for the next little while, might as well learn something.

There is not much in english in video format really only books. I have a hour long doc. in French and a 2 hour in Ukranian neither of which I understand. (French not at all and Ukranian only enough to talk about mundane household/family stuff like money, bills, food, numbers, weather, etc.) They get mentioned in some stuff about the Russian revolution but its always crap from the Bolshevik point of view where they blame the terrible stuff everyone else did on Makhno.

Looks like it will remain unknown.

Got anything on successful anarchic communities?

If you are real bored and want to read something this is very good about the Makhnovists. https://libcom.org/files/[Michael_Malet]_Nestor_Makhno_in_the_Russian_Civil(Bookos.org).pdf

And this one. Not sure if you said you only read Voline or read this too. http://www.ditext.com/arshinov/makhno.html

This one is good too and the easiest to read online.. Not too long only about 35 pages. https://libcom.org/files/aleksandr-shubin-the-makhnovist-movement.pdf

I'm headed back to mexico, when i get there I should be reading a lot, thanks.
Last time I got more than two years, most days with 4+ hours to devote to reading.

You are the first one in almost 15 years that understood what I was referencing,...all hail the interwebz!

OH BTW I forgot Makhno's own writing about Free Ukraine. I couldn't find it for some reason before but here it is: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/nestor-makhno-the-russian-revolution-in-ukraine-march-1917-april-1918

Its got stuff about trade in Free Ukraine between rural and urban areas and other ways they were changing the structure of society: "Thus the textiles, coming from the city factory workers to the peasants in exchange for the products of agriculture produced through the peasants’ labour, were distributed among the population of Gulyai-Pole and its raion by the Gulyai-Pole Co-operative and the Food Board. The raion Soviet, together with the provisioning organizations, decided it was necessary to broaden and deepen the concept of exchanging goods between city and country without the usual intermediaries — agents of the state and their functionaries.

Delegates were sent to several cities to investigate various questions concerning the practical side of goods exchange. Meanwhile the peasants began to build up stocks of wheat, flour, and other food products in a special warehouse which henceforth was designated to store goods destined for future exchange. This time, however, our delegates returned for the most part with empty hands. The authorities of the Left Bloc had, in all the workplaces, categorically forbidden the proletarian organizations from entering into any sort of direct relationship with the villages. For this purpose there existed — according to the authorities — proletarian organizations: Prodorgans. These statist entities were charged with organizing the industrial and agricultural development of the cities and villages, thereby consolidating socialism in the whole country.

Only in Moscow were the revolutionary workers of the textile factories able to obtain from the ruling socialists the right to exchange once more their goods against the products of Gulyai-Pole raion. But the shipment of textiles was extremely difficult. It was stopped several times en route. The government “prodorgans” shunted them from one railway siding to another for over two weeks until rail transport came to a complete halt because of the war situation. Powerful German armies, accompanied by detachments of the Central Rada and the Ukrainian SRs and SDs, were advancing on Kiev and Odessa. The leaders of the Ukrainian SRs and SDs, Professor Hrushevsky and the publicist O. Vinnichenko respectively, had concluded an alliance with the German and Austrian emperors directed against the Left Bloc. Now these Ukrainian SRs and SDs were leading their allies onto Ukrainian soil and showing them the shortest and most practical routes towards the Dnepr and the Revolutionary Front.

To the agents of the Left Bloc regime there was a choice: either abandon the textile shipment somewhere on the railway, thus leaving it to the new authorities who would receive their marching orders from the Germans and Austrians; or send it to its proper destination, thereby showing the toilers of the cities and villages that, despite the retreat and the scoundrels who were taking over, their needs still counted.

The shipment finally arrived in Gulyai-Pole and was shared out according to the wishes of the inhabitants."

Man, if we could get it out that the principles of 'keep working, stop paying' out there as already successful in the past, that would be great.

Sales goes from finding suckers to buy to finding places to take things off your hands.
Goods will radiate out from the factories, and food will find it's way in.
