Sort of an answer to Fabian/"Leutha Blissett": 

Because CNT ended up in collaboration in 1936, any anarcho-
syndicalist project would be doomed to repeat this for all
future, is that your theory? In case, you should extend
your critique to workers councils (far more vulnerable
for this kind of critique) and by implication council
communists.

Basically I believe this kind of (un)reasoning ends up
in one place: in anti-organisation: A surer platform for
a half measured revolutions and the digging of ones own
graves you will have to look far for.

If you want to write a critique of anarcho-syndicalism
it ought to better than this. One great problem with
so much of the small and very slowly growing, but none
the less growing communist movement is that it thinks
it can completely avoid the organisational question, and
forever rest in either the negative alone, or in some
abstract optimism, reading revolution into every mani-
festation of discontent.


utopian humanist greetings
