Um, Dave, we're talking about the anarchist movement here, not the 
general world of political theory. Bobbio, Rawls, and whoever aren't 
relevant here because they aren't anarchist writers writing about 
anarchism. Noam Chomsky may be the most widely known anarchist (who 
doesn't really wear the label proudly), but he hasn't written anything 
lately about the anarchist movement as an anarchist. Chomsky writes 
mostly about American foreign policy, linguistics, and activism in general.

Post-leftism is a critique about leftism in the anarchist movement and 
our current and future relationship with the dinosaur left.
