That isn't what Bookchin calls lifestyle anarchism. It's one thing to criticize folks who think these activities are the end all be all of anarchist politis, quite another to lump activists in with them who happen to also like dancing and vegan food.
I don't know, weren't these people called "hippies" at one time?

INTERNATIONALISM IN PRACTICE
An American soldier in a hospital explained how he was wounded: He said, "I was told that the way to tell a hostile Vietnamese from a friendly Vietnamese was to shout ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’ If he shoots, he’s unfriendly. So I saw this dude and yelled ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’ and he yelled back, ‘To hell with President Johnson!’ We were shaking hands when a truck hit us."
