Well your problem apart from denial of any evidence you don’t like seems to be some lingering symptoms of ortho-Trotskyism like thinking formal program determines everything and an inability to understand solidarity and collaboration that doesn’t involve ideological conformity. Yes the Apoist in rejecting Stalinism have eclectically borrowed from Bookchin as well as other sources, but their practice doesn’t seem very different what what any socialist current could or should do in their varied circumstances. Sure it’s justified and useful to make informed as opposed to ignorant and dogmatic critiques of Apoism. I’ve mentioned Rahila Gupta on their feminism before. Whatever the justified critiques, we might, shocking as it might seem, actually learn something from people leading millions in an anti-capitalist movement, as well as by re-reading Lenin. A number of Australian anarchists do have better poisitions and practice on Syria, or on other issues, than a number of people with more impeccable Leninist qualifications on paper. For example it was welcome that some prominent Melbourne anarchists attended the recent large launch of the Victorian Socialists. The large local Kurdish left are I understand also supported of this electoral alliance, despite their opinions of Socialist Alternative’s opinions on Syria. All a bit complicated maybe but that’s life. > _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
