Subject: An Anarchist FAQ update


hello all

"An Anarchist FAQ" webpage at http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/1931/
has been updated. It has been updated on January to mark the death of
Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, the first person to call themselves an
anarchist,
in 1865.

An Anarchist FAQ is an indepth introduction to anarchist ideas, ideals 
and history. Find out why anarchism is opposed to hierarchy, state and
capitalism. Find out what different types of anarchism there is and why
it 
is also called libertarian socialism. Find out why anarchists oppose the 
present system and what they aim to replace it with.

In addition, visit the FAQ links page with over 500 links to anarchist
webpages, organisations, papers, magazine, books, publishers 
and so on as well as many non-anarchist but related sites of interest. 
This can be found at
http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/1931/links.html

The best one-stop place to discover the anarchist community on line.

yours in solidarity

So Whats New in the FAQ? -- version 8.1

Section A.2.9
Expansion on the section on "What sort of society 
do anarchists want?" Clarifies the important 
difference between delegates and representatives. 
The former is the basis for eliminating government, 
the latter is a form of government. 

Section A.5
Slight expansion to introduction of this sub-section to
hight that anarchists aim for a *revolution from below* 
and that our examples of "Anarchy in Action" are 
expressions of this.

Section A.5.1
Expansion of the section on "The Paris Commune"
to include more information on its anarchistic elements and
to provide more anarchist analysis of it.

Section A.5.2
Expansion of the section on the "Haymarket Martyrs"
to include more of the history of the event, details of the 
"Chicago Idea" which inspired them as well as why 
anarchists still consider it important.

Section J.5
Slight modification to "What alternative social organisations do 
anarchists create?"

Appendix 1
Slight changes to the appendix on "Anarchism and 
'Anarcho'-capitalism"
