These ideas are based on 20 years of thinking like an anarchist. Perhaps I've haven't articulated them in depth, but this is an e-mail discussion list and some of my e-mails are going to be half-assed. Perhaps we'll still call the damn things hospitals and perhaps there will be a different name for them. I know that Maggie Thatcher won't be around to see any of this anyway. ;-) I'm not "just a post-leftist." I'm an anarchist without adjectives and a practical anarchist. > Some of the things you (and your primitivist pals) say > are good, but they are not original.
