In 1981, Knabb published the "Situationist International Anthology", a large collection of articles drawn mostly from the French journal "Internationale Situationniste". His other translations include Guy Debord's film scripts ("Complete Cinematic Works"), Debord's "The Society of the Spectacle", and Ngo Van's "In the Crossfire: Adventures of a Vietnamese Revolutionary". Knabb's own writings include leaflets, comics, pamphlets and articles on Wilhelm Reich, Georges Brassens, Gary Snyder, the 1960s hip counterculture, the 1970 Polish revolt, the 1979 Iranian revolution, the 1991 Gulf war, the 2006 anti-CPE revolt in France, the 2011 Occupy movement, and the 2016 Trump election. Longer works include "The Relevance of Rexroth" (a study of the anarchist poet and essayist Kenneth Rexroth), "Gateway to the Vast Realms" (a reader's guide to 500 recommended books), and "The Joy of Revolution" (an examination of the pros and cons of diverse radical tactics followed by some speculations on how a nonstate and noncapitalist postrevolutionary society might function).
