I recently saw an article in the Kansas City Star about this site. I joined the community, havn't posted on it much, i'm trying ton get around to it.

I am an Anrachist in theory, I like the concept of anarchy, but i realise in practice it could never work (due to the human factor). I wil check the sight out and have a look though.

I'm a human and anarchism works for me. It doesn't work when you pair an anarchist with, say, a skinhead. Like throwing communists and evangelists into the same room and expecting harmony.

I've visited infoshop a few times in the past. Flag.blackened.net is a good site, too.

Hey, infoshop is a great website. I love this stuff, I wish that anarchy would really work, you know? But someone's always gonna screw it up I guess.. But yeah, theres also alot of great links I found there, so this post really made my morning.

Well anarchy is basically final stage marxism & I am a marxist so you could say I am also an anarchist.

the goals of anarchy and marxism are incompatible!
yes, the final stage of marxism is the dissolution of the state, but anarchy is completely the wrong way to go about it.
the anarchistic youth of today mostly use the term, 'anarchist'
as an indication of not wanting to go along with the system, in not wanting to assimilate,
which is a turn in the right path on their part considering all their lives they've been constantly
bombarded with the huge amerikan corporate propaganda machine.
the ideas of anarachism may have similar aspects to socialism and marxism...
but what they will never understand from their anarchist literature is what has to be replaced with the dismantled bourgeois state, to keep it from re-emerging again.
which we, as marxists, clearly depict it as a worker's state...
the suppression of the minority (kapitalists) by the vast majority.
the anarchists just wish to simply eliminate the state over night and hope that the kapitalists won't further attempt to counter the revolution... this idea is unrealistic.
we base our theories on dialectic science... not idealism.

here's a quote from marx's daughter, eleanor marx aveling...

Unfortunately, there are many of the younger, or of the more ignorant sort, who are inclined to take words for deeds, high-sounding phrases for acts, mere sound and fury for revolutionary activity, and who are too young or too ignorant to know that such sound and fury signify nothing. It is for the sake of these younger, or for the sake of the more ignorant, folk, that men like Plechanoff deal seriously with this matter of Anarchism, and do not feel their time lost if they can, as this work must, help readers to see the true meaning of what is called 'Anarchism.' This little book of Plechanoff will assuredly convince the youngest even that under any circumstances Anarchism is but another word for reaction; and the more honest the men and women who play this reactionist game, the more tragic and dangerous it becomes for the whole working class movement."

g.v. plekhanov was the founder of russian marxism, who in this book, battles the set backs of anarchism.
