conversations.value: The Anarchist Cookbook (film): The story is narrated by the protagonist, Puck, who opens with a monologue describing the basic reasoning underlying his philosophy, as well as the film\'s general interpretation of Anarchism, as he walks through the commune he lives in, while events of his daily life are presented.\nOther members of the commune include Johnny Red, a 1960s radical who constantly refers to Sweden as an ideal society; Gin, Red\'s hippie girlfriend; Karla, a bisexual with issues of misandry; Sweeney, a promiscuous DJ who worked at a local record store; Double D, an unintelligent but goodhearted commune member, and Puck\'s best friend; and "The Trolls", a ragtag group of "crunchy types" who lived in tents in the backyard of the house and home schooled about a dozen children.\nThe commune, referred to as "Sam", is funded by a collective Anarchist bookstore, where the members take turns operating the front desk.\nThroughout the film, this group is referred to as "The Family", and their way of life is described as peaceful and happy, until the day Johnny Black, a mysterious, militant nihilist with a forceful personality, appears.\nJohnny Black shares much of the rebellious philosophy of "The Family" when he shows up, however he disrespects what he sees as the narrow minded and shortsighted protest tactics Johnny Red espouses.\nHowever, politically weak within the framework of the Family, Black cannot challenge Red\'s authority for the time being.\nFrustrated and unhappy with his social life and lack of direction, Puck seeks a girlfriend.\nHe eventually meets a young woman at a night club, Jody, who he learns is a young Republican college student.\nHowever, when his new observations of Jody\'s political beliefs and academic success causes him greater internal conflict and personal embarrassment, Puck decides to temporarily leave the Family and ventures out to find a new job and home.\nStill unhappy and directionless, Puck opts to return to the Family.\nIn the time that has transpired in Puck\'s absence, Black\'s influence over the family has steadily grown.\nEncouraging the group to forge alliances with "like-minded" organizations.\nOver time, Black undergoes a more militant shift in personality.\nAt a meeting for a planned protest demonstration against a petrochemical plant, Black denounces the peaceful, non-violent approach most of the attendants support, and presents two tools to be used in their attack on the plant: semtex and The Anarchist Cookbook.\nJohnny Red describes the book as "a relic from the past.\nit taught you how to make bombs, how to make drugs.\nand it meant something once".\nHe also accurately mentions that the author, William Powell, has disavowed the book.\nHe continues, commenting, "the book\'s not the problem.\nThe problem is the kind of people who look to it for answers".\nA few days afterward, Johnny Black discovers Red\'s private journal, in which he admits to being sexually attracted to young boys.\nHe places this in the open for Gin to discover, and after reading a passage in which Red admits to his pedophilia, she dumps him.\nFollowing this, Red\'s personality becomes more anxious and submissive to Black.\nOne day, while carrying science kits, Puck, Double D, and Sweeney are approached by a police officer who randomly stops them and requests to inspect their contents.\nAfter complying, they receive a ride from the officer to Sam, explaining that their run down house is in fact an orphanage the kits are intended for.\nThe officer decides to visit the building, and enters to discover Karla in the midst of using cocaine with Johnny Black.\nThe entire group, except for Johnny Red, is promptly arrested and brought to trial, the presiding judge ironically being a spurned, former lover of Karla.\nThe flop house, Sam, is shut down by the city; Johnny Black receives time at a medium security prison, with the possibility for parole in four months; Sweeney and Double D each receive 250 hours of community service; Karla, aside from being insulted by the judge, is made to receive a mandatory psychiatric evaluation; and Puck is placed under house arrest for 180 days, and forced to move into his parent\'s home in the city of Plano, Texas.\nPuck chafes in his suburban life, but comes to accept it with Jody\'s encouragement, until Johnny Black is paroled after four months.\nBlack appears in Puck\'s apartment and easily convinces Puck to remove the ankle bracelet that tracks him and rejoin the Family.\nPuck soon discovers that Karla, Sweeney, and Double D are all suffering from drug addiction, and have relocated to a new squat which they name "Son of Sam".\nThe next stage of Johnny Black\'s strategy for his movement is the creation of a coalition of organizations which agree with any facet of his goals.\nHowever, these include extremist groups, such as neo-nazis and militia men.\nBlack offers The Anarchist Cookbook as an instructional booklet to the other groups, while they pledge to offer various arms and explosives, and plans a "joint mission" to attack a local university.\nPuck attempts to leave the organization, but is under constant surveillance.\nHe commits to remaining in the group, so as to watch over Double D, for whom he feels responsible.\nThis situation eventually ends in tragedy when Double D overdoses on diazepam.\nPuck finally resolves to escape from the group and prevent the mission, and convinces a sober Sweeney and Johnny Red to help.\nTogether, they devise a plan to intoxicate the extremist group members with pancakes laced with the very drugs Double D overdosed on.\nOnce the entire organization is unconscious, the surviving members of the Family split up.\nAlone, Puck decides that once the group awakens he\'d be in immediate danger, and so decides to report the organization and cooperate fully with the FBI, for which he receives a reward of $200,000.\nImmediately afterward, Puck considers his options and realizing that he now has the money and time to commit to his future, decides to take Jody\'s advice and return to college.\nAlone, he begins to hitchhike to California to join Jody as she interns at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.\nReceiving a ride from a truck driver, Puck is asked what his name is, and after some internal thinking, decides to accept his legal name and chosen name together: "Peter Puck".\nThe final monologue by Puck meditates over his new perspective on life and his personal philosophy, and renounces the concept of "freedom without responsibility," which contrasts with his idealistic opening-sequence monologue.
