But I would like to believe that GA running this piece (which is part of a larger one called News from the Balcony with Waldorf and Statle) actually demonstrates a 'loosening of the tie' (dreadlock?)...

I thought I would jump on this train of thought. I think for myself, there are two issues. The first is the matter of critique. The second deals with GA's 'jaunty' tone. First off, the claim is made...

I think you misunderstood where I was coming from. I said that participation does not 'validate your pass' to critique. That meant that you did not have to participate (in the BB) to critique it (you...

I should say that I think that dkingsbury is confused about the intentions of those who have raised objections to his or her article. Really, think all of the folks involved do want to make a critique...

I think emma raises well the point I would also like to make, that an attempt to be funny (and I did laugh when I read the piece--it was my favorite section in GA, glad for the inclusion) does not...

"My concern is that their perspective seems like its becoming the one that anarchists 'grow up' into. Aporia reminds me of that."It's time anarchists grew up as the vast majority of anarchism has very...

Yeah, since classical anarchism has been shown to be - as you say - intellectually bankrupt in regard to the present moment, the best response is clearly not to try to bring it back to life and make...

Waldorphhh, I guess to me you should know it is not a sectarian zine by reading it. Or maybe you have a very different understanding of the word. I think of a sectarian zine as being one that ha a...

If I agree that Aporia -may- not be sectarian project, will you agree that there may be 'some truth' to the comments we made?Waldorf.

Well basically the "anti-state communists" as they are referred to here but I'll happily describe myself as a communist cos I don't think communism can meaningfully be pro-state. More specifically my...
