That's something I would count in Murray's favor. Those are deserving targets that have fallen into the sights of our politically astute listmaster as well. Is it that Murray picks on EF! and the like that bothers you or is your concern semantic? I mean, "primitivists" and Earth First! aren't the modern inheritors of Bakunin's politics, are they?

You must be kidding. Then, what *is* the appropriate anarchist term for, say, deciding that being a vegan, dancing in the streets, and doing AdBuster approved actions is the end all be all of contemporary anarchist politics?
