It doesn't help that I happen to talk to people on the very fringe of the political spectrum. It'd help if freedom oriented political radicalism had more clout here. <BR/><BR/>America has never had anything like the French CGT. The rightist end of the libertarian political spectrum hasn't faired very well either. The LP nominated Bob Barr and effectively became GOP lite. They'd fare much better by being an Alliance of the Libertarian Left mutual aid society or something. I could personally use some kind of rebel organization offering health insurance right now. I am dependent on my dad's insurance, and I have to be in school full time to have it.Nick Manleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01513334575122504558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11635675.post-46518457388385261242008-10-04T14:47:00.000-07:002008-10-04T14:47:00.000-07:00One of the worst things about being in rebellious ...One of the worst things about being in rebellious "mode" is that the people around you are not always on the same page. That's certainly true with some of the people I work with. Diplomacy only works so far although I try to give it my best shot. But like most people I have my limits. It would <I>really</I> be to the advantage of all anarchists (and other folks of course)if we could work independently of bosses and other jerks. Over the years I've found myself sometimes attacking people who are <I>not</I> my enemies largely because of the continuing effects of wage slavery. That's my excuse anyway. I always end up regretting all this so I suppose that's one good thing overall.Wernerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17213034395981099737noreply@blogger.com
