Hey all!
So a small few of you said you'd be interested to read along with me on this. I ended up enjoying it and am hoping to find the time to read more. I think what I'll do is post individual thoughts (and sometimes just interesting quotes) as comments so that they can be replied to directly in each comment thread if anybody wants to do that. Obviously you can start up your own comment threads too :)

"The Marxists see only the mote in the enemy’s eye. They supplant their villain with a hero, the Anti-capitalist mode of production, the Revolutionary Establishment. They fail to see that their hero is the very same “shape with lion body and the head of a man, a gaze blank and pitiless as the sun.” They fail to see that the Anti-capitalist mode of production wants only to outrun its brother in wrecking the Biosphere.
Anarchists are as varied as Mankind. There are governmental and commercial Anarchists as well as a few for hire. Some Anarchists differ from Marxists only in being less informed. They would supplant the state with a network computer centers, factories and mines coordinated “by the workers themselves” or by an Anarchist union. They would not call this arrangement a State. The name-change would exorcize the beast.”
