i love what murray bookin says

[doorsovperception]

Let's hope his idea isn't leading us down the path towards Ayn Rand objectivism or libertarian conservatism; would be as tragic, if not much much worse than what happened in Soviet Russia or the People's REPUBLIC of China. Please let's be careful.

Shit, I think Bookchin just killed Marxism for me.

@4500jas My brand of social anarchism is at A Save The Universe Club

I met Murry at a Green Party Congress in the Beaches way back. Young men were literally sitting at his feet. Even I offered him my manifesto. Never heard from them again though. He has informed and inspired me for decades.

@AroundSun Left-wing Libertarianism > Right Wing Libertarianism. Honestly, full blown capitalism would be ridiculously terrible. Capitalists would rule the land. Not much better than the state.

That guy at the end is good

[BeGrunge]

the comparison between a goddess like Goldman and a bitter old hag like Rand almost made me vomit till he admitted rand was insane.

45000jas expressed what I was trying to say as succinctly as possible. I'm sorry if there was any mixup.

5:35 Bookchin disillusioned w/Marxism: "The workers' movement never really had a revolutionary potential...the factory, which is supposed to organize the workers...served to regiment the worker...to assimilate the worker to the work ethic, to the industrial routine, to hierarchical forms of organization, and that no matter how compellingly Marx had argued that such a movement could have revolutionary consequences, in fact, such a movement could have nothing but a purely adaptive function."

@4500jas It makes you wonder about the documentary makers. If we can include capitalists in a documentary on American anarchism we might as well embrace decrepit neo-fascists just because they call themselves anarchists (and they're out there).

This inclusion would have disgusted American anarchists like Spies, Goldman or Albert Parsons.

It's high time to smash all the middle-class posturing and radical chic. If you're a capitalist, you're not a fucking anarchist!

[4500jas]

Also I hope everyone can see that Bookchin is a social anarchist and Hess is an anarcho-capitalist
