What type of anarchism am i not familiar with?<BR/>Are we talking about Social anarchism, such as that talked about in Bakunin's writings, or maybe the anarcho-syndicalists that made such a huge splash in the Spanish Civil war?<BR/>For myself, being a fan of Tolstoy i strongly believe or rather, wish i had the strength to be a non-violent anarchist. But as John Lennon said (my paraphrasing), look at all the pacifists they are so dangerous they all get assasinated.<BR/>But are these anarchists? When Elite's start fighting Elite's, who is the anarchist. Malatesta was quite right to be suspicious of Unions because they are just another body of the Elite, especially here in Greece when you have the Far right controlling the Unions which are now striking.Vassili - Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05224696466430325560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033848414085389565.post-31309459446866518092008-12-15T13:27:00.000+02:002008-12-15T13:27:00.000+02:00You just want things to return to normal then, huh...You just want things to return to normal then, huh? Figures. You nor most tourist types understand why there is rioting, why there is anarchism, maybe don't know know what anarchism is, what the purpose of a general strike is.<BR/><BR/>Why don't you talk about WHY it exploded instead of "oh my gosh, oh my gosh, honey did you see that?"utopia or busthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09330052275507966278noreply@blogger.com
