I think that I should quote an old situationist saying to clarify this: "Theory -- where you have ideas Ideology -- where ideas have you" In that sense, anarchism is not an ideology. I like to think of it as being informed by scientific methodology, seeking to develop itself based on new experiences and practices. Iain
