Right. All the contradictions of the current conjuncture are unresolved because of Angela Merkel.
So anarchists are accused of emphasizing the state/politics too much, but almost every socialist/Marxist response to the current crises is like the one in this article (less stupid perhaps, but not qualitatively different): largely finding the crises' sources in myopic state policies and their solutions in technocratic political rearrangements. Which for the most part is fine; I'm with Marx: "Every class struggle is a political struggle." But you can't then turn around and accuse anarchists of stupidly stressing the state.
By the way, I very much enjoying the conversations about unions that are happening elsewhere on the Internet and that involve our moderator, both because they begin to address the economic more directly and because they have the potential to bypass some of the alleged antinomies that have plagued other recent debates (autonomy vs. state power, etc.).
