Woot! I win! Dennis can't respond to my legitimate arguments so he has 
to resort to a cheap personal attack!

I'm not going to respond in kind.

The responses to my comments here on this subject have been typical of 
what anarchists hear all the time from the meaningless American 
authoritarian Left. How dare we utter one bad word about the Wonderful 
Socialist Revolutions(tm) that still exist around the world. If we say 
one word of criticism, we are:

1) On the payroll of the CIA
2) Wishing that Batista was still in power
3) Doing to the work of the Yankee imperialists

and ad nauseam.

Where else have I heard such impeccable reasoning?

Oh, that's right, from 9/11 conspiracy nutjobs. Like the ones who tell 
me that I'm doing the work of George Bush and Karl Rove. Or that I'm a 
gatekeeper. Whatever.
