Let me get this straight, Roger. Are you really saying 
that 'classical' anarchism is "a creature of Marx"?
If that  _is_  what you are saying, then I am going
to have to disagree with you, as well as with Chuck0.
Here, again, is my attitude towards Charlie Marx:

"I have never read Marx. Well, I read a few pages then decided 
he was a bore. Karl didn't invent the class struggle, he merely 
wrote about it in a way that impressed some people, using lots 
of big words. While it can certainly be useful to know about 
the history of the working class, you don't need to have studied 
Marxist theory to know that being bossed around is degrading."
