Subject: Re: A Marxist Attacks Anarchism: Uses the Usual Slanders


Calling one of the "Luetha [Luther/etc] Blissett"s a "marxist" using the
"usual slanders" is pretty funny, actually. But it, alas, points to the
truth of Fabian's claims about our ignorance of one another's actual
positions and beliefs - the weak ground on which we tend to universalize
our own tendencies as those of "the movement." 

It's interesting to note that there have been very few attacks on
anarchism on aut-op-sy prior to Jamal's out of the blue
"defense" began. There were, however, some interesting practical
discussions going on, and those have suffered from the distraction.
