Whose anarchy?

[peterthooper at juno.com]

Kropotkin’s, maybe? Bakunin and Malatesta, no thank you! Murray Bookchin, well probably. It’s like microbreweries or artisanal cheese, or in some cases like moonshine stills which probably use lead piping & ought to be avoided; operations like that justify government: Dukes of Hazzard meet their Roscoe P. Coltrane and they deserve each other!

A) absence of archy - for that matter, where is mehitabel? that darn tarantula

B) Catch-22’s chaplain, the Anabaptist whose defining characteristic was not being a Baptist, still gives me a chuckle. He shows up in _Closing Time_ which had sad and funny mixed up and probably a better book than _Catch-22_ but as an older reader I was less patient with it. 
Anyway, like postmodernism, I get cranky about movements defined by what they aren’t - “get off my lawn” though I hope I remember to toss them their ball as they leave, except maybe Grover Norquist and Rand Paul that start tearing away the good parts of government first.

C) Basically when they start doing nasty stuff they suck, but their theory and the non-coercive elements of their praxis can be attractive 

D) Triangulation: 
Lord Acton
Badfinger’s song “Perfection” 
That Furry Freak Brothers comic where one of them picks up a hitchhiker, and a cop with a really friendly face comes along to be, like, helpful, and the hitchhiker yells, “F*ck you, pig!” Freewheelin Franklin, or maybe Phineas?* is sitting there going “Sheesh!” 
Just like Norquist or Rand Paul**, that hitchhiker.

*(Unlikely that it was Fat Freddy, for obvious reasons)

** Now Mrs Paul, no problem.
