--------------------------------------------------------------- I've taken some time off from other things to look at at my emails, and am struck by the size and heat of this thread. The anarchists were a serious force in the working class movement at the turn of the last century, and had to be confronted ideologically. The Spanish anarchist movement in the civil war was also formidable. But small groups of students and street people acting out in North America and Europe? The anarchists are a spectacle for the media and their libertarian theories continue to resonate with romantic intellectuals, but they no longer represent anything of real significance in Western political life. I doubt their theatre either attracts or drives people away from the left. These decisions have deeper roots.
