Like everything bad that's ever happened in the NA anarchist scene, it was definitely Bob Black's fault that Jim Hogshire started waving a gun around. What happened next proved beyond all doubt that Black is truly the devil incarnate. A Good Person would have taken a bullet to the chest with a smile and died a martyr for Good People everywhere.

Perhaps you would take a bullet to the chest, and die a martyr for assholes everywhere. Why are you acting like my point is to condemn just one of these people?

Anarchist men, especially post-left anarchists, are the primary reason why anarchists have accomplished so little on your continent despite being proportionately overrepresented compared to other parts of the world.

I've enjoyed reading this thread and have been surprised at how much you know about this. I'm surprised also in part because you called yourself a communist at least once recently iirc and I certainly don't know much about communists in other places. It's made me interested to learn more about what you think generally because I don't have a strong sense of where we disagree and what overlaps we have.

Anyway, what I'm mostly interested in is this - what is it that you think could have been done better by these people?

I'm not sure, I'm not there. I just know that obsessing about defending old writers is a hallmark of people who don't want to do anything else.

It's true, we would definitely live in a communist utopia by now if it wasn't for counter-revolutionaries like confirmed ransom-taker Bob Black. Everyone knows that we were on the cusp of overthrowing the state before those guys turned up in the 80s. If only we'd listened to Murray Bookchin!
