Eric: So the ultimate reward for 40 years of antistatist work is to gain an audience with the personifications of the state? Got it.

Somebody: However corrupt and compromised by collaboration the Palestinian prime minister is, he is still nominally a representative of a colonized people. There's no comparison between this and somebody like Bono hooking up with right-wing U.S. senators and treasury secretaries.

Anyway, you act as if meeting with heads of state could give a lefty a bad case of cooties. Or is being antistatist (or libertarian socialist or anarchist or whatever) simply a matter of maintaining one's ritual purity - a kind of left-wing Shintoism?
