Wow, check it out! Former "center-left" cyclist turned warmongering fascist Charles Johnson has turned again. Colour me skeptical (like someone pointed out on fengi's LJ, it'll take one more terrorist attack to turn him back, but it's almost heartening to read.

I wonder if he'll apologize for his blog being a gathering place for genocidal maniacs for the last eight years.

If he's serious, though: Welcome back to the reality-based community.

What does he mean about the institutional structures that surround them, in the last sentence? I must read his writings! Sounds interesting.

He's talking about democracy and communalism as institutional structures; that is established social relationships.

Let me put it another way... a cooperative farm, a single family farm, and a small farm that uses wage exploited labor, and a farm that uses slave labor might all resemble each other in their material components. What's important is not so much the size of the farm, what it plants or what equipment it has--so much the social institution of how people work together.

Yes, you should definitely look into Bookchin. I suspect that he will be far more appreciated in the 21st century than he was in the 20th.
