I an not an anarchist, and in a growing and vigorous mass movement the relative 'weight' of anarchists would steadily decline. But I cannot understand why, at the present time, anyone seriously interested in building an anti-capitalist movement should not see the role of anarchists to date as wholly positive. And, moreover, I cannot see any focus on errors, mistaken tactics, inadequate strategy as other than the irresponsible behavior of mere observers, ignorant of the unavoidable messiness of a movement in its early stages.

Does anyone have a response yet to my question as to a non-sexist and non-ageist synonym for "old women" in Luxemburg's 1898 speeches? We really need such a term.
