Add to muddy waters:

1) You may know of the newsgroup:  ALT:  Anarchists, Lunatics, and 
   Terrorists.

2) Marxists seem to have few friends, but issues live:
   
   "We moved from landed feudalism to capitalist democracy," 
   then we moved from and industrial to a technological society.
   We have to decide what human beings are in the electronic 
   age.  Are we just going to be chattel for commerce?"
