Hah, hah. 

What is the source of this article? We've discussed the "anti-imperialism
of fools" on this list before, in the various threads about the

"...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."
