No, no, I'm not lumping them in with anarchism. I'm simply creating a web page for people who are interested in these newer tendencies.

I would disagree that anarchism is fundamentally opposed to these other political tendencies. They seem to have a few thing in common.

In any case, I'm broadening the scope of Infoshop, so that's one reason why I'm starting this page.
