The Trots I encountered in Australia seemed remarkably similar to the Trotsky that I found in the history books. Perhaps that is why they called
themselves Trotskyists.<< I attack the aussi trots at every chance.It helps not to confuse them with anarchists. 57 varieties and all of them poisonous
The story of the Russian radical left is full of hypocrisy, betrayal and murder. The story of the Catalonian radical left is also full of very similar hypocrisy, betrayal and murder, with the added twist that in Catalonia the anarchist nomenclatura was sold by the anarchist leadership into the hands of their enemies.<<
Um,anarchists being sold out by "leadership".Anarchists don't have leadership,if they did they did they wouldn't be anarchists.The story of every political movement is full of hypocrisy, betrayal and murder.That's why I choose anarchism to minimize my chances of those things happening to me.
The differences that seem so big and important from the inside, are small from the outside. <<
You should't hang with 'punks into C/anarchy then,are you insane?The police state might crucify you. Chompsky seems to have not addressed anarchism for over 20 years.His essay remains the best hirstorical one Ive seen on Spain.(Objectivity and liberal scholarship)
I notice that you approvingly cite Huben's FAQ, whose central argument is that the federal government is the rightful owner of everything in the USA. <<
I read widely and quote selectively and sometimes provocatively,thanks for the heads up on Huben.The central argument of the federal govt seems to be that they own the friggin world.The best way to shake them of that misconception seems to me to be anarchy.libertarian socialist,crypto-anarchic good old fashioned ANARCHY.Viva,anarchia,VIVA!
