Recession, city & county bankruptcies "If I rule out violent anarchism, there remains pacifist, antinationalist, anticapitalist, moral, & antidemocratic anarchism (i.e., that which is hostile to the falsified democracy of bourgeois states). There remains the anarchism which acts by means of persuasion, by the creation of small groups & networks, denouncing falsehood & oppression, aiming at a true overturning of authorities of all kinds as people at the bottom speak & organize themselves. All this is very close to Bakunin." � Jacques Ellul, �Anarchie et Christianisme� --- anti-copyrite 1999 Dave Brown Entries excerpted / abbreviated from today's Daily Bleed... ("History 101").
