Re: so are you really into left-wing anarchy or are you islamic? islamic left-winger anarchist? sunni? shiite? sufi? tell us more about yourself. Religiously speaking, I'm a born-again atheist... or an agnostic, if you prefer. Re: we'll have to see if israel and russia cozy up as you seem to think will happen. As I've written it again and again, the EU, Russia and Israel are made for each other... They basically face the same challenge: Islam's demographic/cultural thrust. And, slowly but surely, they've resorted to the same defence --Judeofascism. A soft, stealthy Judeofascism is gaining momentum in Europe whereas the hard version is already at work in Chechnya and Palestine. Again, as I said to Nadine in my previous post, the current EU/Arabs vs US/Israel divide is a geopolitical masquerade.... Somehow, the global crisis that befell the world on 11 Sept 2001 is nothing more than reality calling the con-gamers' bluff --it's the showdown. After all, could the Americans take Prez Bush's state of the union address seriously if everybody knew that the US was the #1 trading partner of Iraq, Iran, and North Korea?? whitehouse.gov Excerpt: North Korea is a regime arming with missiles and weapons of mass destruction, while starving its citizens. Iran aggressively pursues these weapons and exports terror, while an unelected few repress the Iranian people's hope for freedom. Iraq continues to flaunt its hostility toward America and to support terror. The Iraqi regime has plotted to develop anthrax, and nerve gas, and nuclear weapons for over a decade. [...] _________________ Well, that's precisely the geopolitical fraud spread by Europe and the Judeofascists: Europe is anti-Israel! Europe hates Jews! Europe LOVES terrorist Arafat! Europe wants the demise of the Jewish State! and, at the same time, Europe is Israel's #1 business partner and economic outlet... Go figure. Gus

PROPOSED ROADS TO FREEDOM BY BERTRAND RUSSELL, F.R.S. CHAPTER II BAKUNIN AND ANARCHISM IN the popular mind, an Anarchist is a person who throws bombs and commits other outrages, either because he is more or less insane, or because he uses the pretense of extreme political opinions as a cloak for criminal proclivities. This view is, of course, in every way inadequate. Some Anarchists believe in throwing bombs; many do not. Men of almost every other shade of opinion believe in throwing bombs in suitable circumstances: for example, the men who threw the bomb at Sarajevo which started the present war were not Anarchists, but Nationalists. And those Anarchists who are in favor of bomb-throwing do not in this respect differ on any vital principle from the rest of the community, with the exception of that infinitesimal portion who adopt the Tolstoyan attitude of non-resistance. Anarchists, like Socialists, usually believe in the doctrine of the class war, and if they use bombs, it is as Governments use bombs, for purposes of war: but for every bomb manufactured by an Anarchist, many millions are manufactured by Governments, and for every man killed by Anarchist violence, many millions are killed by the violence of States. We may, therefore, dismiss from our minds the whole question of violence, which plays so large a part in the popular imagination, since it is neither essential nor peculiar to those who adopt the Anarchist position. Anarchism, as its derivation indicates, is the theory which is opposed to every kind of forcible government. It is opposed to the State as the embodiment of the force employed in the government of the community. Such government as Anarchism can tolerate must be free government, not merely in the sense that it is that of a majority, but in the sense that it is that assented to by all. Anarchists object to such institutions as the police and the criminal law, by means of which the will of one part of the community is forced upon another part. In their view, the democratic form of government is not very enormously preferable to other forms so long as minorities are compelled by force or its potentiality to submit to the will of majorities. Liberty is the supreme good in the Anarchist creed, and liberty is sought by the direct road of abolishing all forcible control over the individual by the community. [snip] human-nature.com
