Frontpage Magazine published today a halfway interesting article on the class war anarchists in San Francisco who put together that pro-fragging banner that has so pissed off the right.

There is one big error in this article (which is much more error-free than most FP rants). The article states that most anarchists "tend to be young, college-age rich kids, with the occasional social worker’s or teacher’s kid like Mike at the low end." In fact, a wide majority of anarchists tend to be working class and poor middle class, which was confirmed in a survey I did of anarchists earlier this year. Even if you just look at young college-age anarchists, most of them tend to come from working and middle class families.

There are "trustafarian" young activists out there, but they aren't among the anarchist ranks.
