Whenever anarchists are asked to describe the world they seek to create,
they almost always talk about a world that is more decentralized and more
in harmony with nature. This has nothing to do with stupid comparisons to
Pol Pot and everything to do with changing our way of life so that life on
this planet will survive what capitalism has done to it.

"...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."
