> Since the protests at Seattle in winter 1999, the dominant mood on the Left has been one of unity.
This is, of course, wishful thinking. Much of the current anti-capitalist movements want nothing to do with the traditional Left and mostly view these sects as curious relics of a bygone era. Many of us certainly have no use for the old "united front" goal of traditional Leftism. The current anti-globalization and anti-capitalist movements are based on networks, especially the Internet, and have a greater tolerance for diversity within the movements. There is also alot of hostility towards leaders, even anarchist ones.
If the writer of this sentence really believes this nonsense, they should get out more.

"...ironically, perhaps, the best organised dissenters in the world today are anarchists, who are busily undermining capitalism while the rest of the left is still trying to form committees."
