Actually, what we (the anarchists) have to do is create a
praxis in which anarchist ends are achieved through anarchist
means in daily life.  No argument, however irrefutable, will
accomplish anything by itself, because the shadow of slavery
which hangs over us gives most people faith in nothing but
violence. 

However, this is a challenge, not a reason to submit to
liberalism/capitalism or other forms of coercion.  What
have you subverted today?
