No anarchists "look the other way" or cover up anti-semitism. Anarchists
have criticized Proudhon for many things, but they do accept that Proudhon
contributed to anarchism and helped get it rolling.  Even autonomists
should not ignbore his contributions to anti-authoriatioan socialism.
Larry totaly rejects anti-semitism and has criticized Proudhon
before for various things.

Proudhon and Bakunin are seen as stepping stones to what later developed
as modern-day anarchism, which, as I said is more based on folks such as
Kropotkin and Rocker.

A better question is do autonomists look the other way from Marx's
liberal, reformist, statist, and anti-semetic remarks, or do they just
explain them away or try to cover them up?
