Even evil has standards

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.

Those smaller social structures- structures based around cooperation and free association- are what anarchism is, not some inane Mad Max fantasy.

Definitely read some Kropotkin and Bookchin- defining anarchism by anarchists' words instead of by their enemies' is kind of important.

That's what I was saying - I thought smaller communities were necessary, but now I've been told (see above) that Bookchin says not necessarily so. I have read Kropotkin but not Bookchin, and I don't know any enemies of anarchism who actually know what it is! What I was wondering was how an anarchist community could work on a large scale, with huge populations in huge cities. I can't imagine it, I think because I see human nature as not that naturally cooperative, or perhaps not since it has developed in huge cities under capitalism - people might need readjustment and re educating, and it might be a lengthy process and they might not want it!
