It's been a quiet day at work so I've read both. Your
reply reminds me of the old Brian Walden interviews on
the TV - brilliant at pinning the buggers down by
concentrating on the detail.

The one thing that you under-stressed was your 1st
paragraph. The SWP article is even more woeful than
you say. It's full of unsubstantiated assertion and
wouldn't pass  GCSE History. When you get someone
writing "Peter Kropotkin, another famous anarchist
leader....."  the  Stack person has reached a level of
 banality in  writing style that would be hard to
beat.

BTW is that your reply that Freedom are serialising
[without a credit so far]?

Andy
PS I heard on Radio 5 again that story about the crowd
chanting "There's only 2 Andy Gorams". Was he actually
diagnosed as schizophrenic when he walked away from
Scotland that time, or is the story apocryphal?
