Anarchy

[David Casseres]

Anarchism has a long and complicated history, rich in ideological conflict
and personal sacrifice.  I'm mindful of two anchor-points of anarchism: 1)
in the Spanish Civil War, one approached the Anarchist camps from upwind,
because of the stench of shit 2) the Bolsheviks annihilated the anarchists
before anyone else.
