Jim writes about the classic Marx v Bakunin battle of anarchism and intelligent
socialism.
I can never disagree with Karl, because he was just too damn smart. Never took a
position based on his own interests and fudged the rest.
But in this particular battle of definitions, I agree with all the Yoshies out there.
They call "anarchism" what Mr. Marx would call "democracy."
And, more than that, they are energized to do something.
My experiences, locally, have always been positive in terms of political action. They
"do things." Democrats never do things...
