Subject: Re: Post-Left Anarchy?


hello all

"Anarcho-syndicalism may be the best example of this kind of 
left-anarchism." 

so anarcho-syndicalists like Rocker were "leftists"? Where
does that leave pro-syndicalists like Berkman and Goldman?
Or Bakunin, for that matter. His ideas were obviously
anarcho-syndicalist in many key ways.

Does this mean that vast amounts of anarchism is, in fact,
"left-anarchism" -- and so to be rejected? No more Bakunin?
No more Rocker? Durruti? Berkman? The anarchist bookshelf
will become pretty bare, if we start doing that.

Who will be left? Well, Bob Black. That's it. Oh, and some
"primitivists." 

Not very inspiring....

Iain
