Did I say anything about anarchists? The people I know in the movement, which includes many non-anarchists, simply don't have the cash to jet set to Brazil for this conference.

The summit-hoppers are in Brazil this weekend, not NYC.

=======================

What, you're not speaking as an anarchist? Which movement? You mean there's only one? I thought there was a network of movements and issues...kind of like special interest liberals, perhaps?

Does this mean every activist that has a little more purchasing power than you is a poseur? I thought the resistance is supposed to be as global as Capital; or is the working class to reject nomadic strategies altogether and just revive a neo-parochialism?
