Syndicalism is the only practical working out of an anarchist agenda that has ever been offered. It involves the democratic governance of each plant, and the towns associated with each, by the workers. These municipal units then send delegates to regional units, for purposes of facilitating rules of trade and joint projects. There may be a few more layers of delegation before international trade may be effected. The main thing is that most of the means of production, and infra- structure, are in the hands of workers, or those appointed by them; that as much be done cooperatively as possible; and that enforcement be more "rehabilitative" than punitive. In other words, force may be employed, especially to secure the Revolution, but it should aim at rapid pacification and primarily lead to a program of education and persuasion, to the extent possible. Pure coercion is a last resort........

Re: Of course, the ultimate hypocrisy here is Gustave's. On the one hand, he is opposed to coercion in any form, but on the other hand, he seems to support Saddam Hussein's despotic 'right' to subjugate his people with fear and terror. Wrong again! I'm no big fan of Saddam Hussein --but I'm not fooled by Judeofascists either... The only reason Judeofascists want to topple him is because of East Jerusalem, not because of the hardship he's inflicted upon his people. Hence my editing your comment: Of course, the ultimate hypocrisy here is Ed's. On the one hand, he is opposed to totalitarianism in any form, but on the other hand, he seems to support Ariel Sharon's despotic 'right' to subjugate the Arabs with fear and terror.
