Subject: Guy Debord


Hi everyone,

I have just started reading Guy Debord's 'Society of the Spectacle' 
and have come across something a bit confusing about Bakunin. 
Acording to Debord, Bakunin was in favour of a 'dictatorship without 
a badge, without title, without official right, yet all the more 
powerful because it will have none of the appearances of power'.(#91) 

This conception of an anarchist society is at odds with the one i 
thought most anarchists are aiming for. The only conclusion i can 
come to is that Debord is engaging in a bit of dodgy Marxist slander.
Can anyone shed any light on this one?

Ben
