sorry roger but i'm not that witty. deification is a normal english word (see f.i. http://www.hyperdictionary.com/dictionary/deification) although i am not sure deificating is commonly used as a verb. and your explanation definitely beats theirs

but you are right in that we need to constantly re-evaluate our oppressors and oppressions and our responses to them since the situs amply proved everybody anyhow gets recuperated

but one hope lies therein that every system has by definition it's own fallibility built in

so ofcourse critics would say : idem dito for anarchism

then our job is to make anarchism not a system

and now i need some sleep

the last three mails burnt half of my remaining 3 braincells
