We think bylaws are useful for our needs. I (the person writing this) don't want to get into an organization vs anti-organization debate, but I will say that we are definitely firmly in the organization camp. I don't think having a basic set of principles that one must be in general agreement with is a ridiculous thing at all. We (ziq and the LBAC) may disagree on this and that is fine. We are not sectarian towards the anarchist movement, and have a lot of respect for insurrectionary anarchism, but we don't think that approach makes sense in our situation.
Solidarity from the LBAC!

why do you need bylaws (serious question)?
