All I know is that innumerable marxists, including you (on this list, on pen-l, on marxism, and on l-i) have responded warmly to the events at Seattle and spoken of building on that. I'm not looking for trouble, but the anarchists are calling each other names (see Chuck0's latest post) and no one on either pen-l or lbo responded to my query of whether anarchists were willing to work with non-anarchists.
And your own most direct reference to the topic suggested that marxists would not be willing to talk to anarchists. Have you stopped beating your wife lately? I want to know if anarchists are willing to talk to marxists? To non-violent left liberals? Or are they going to tear the Seattle coalition apart?
My posts are the opposite of looking for trouble. They are an olive branch for god's sake.
