I loved this movie. It shows a romantic lifestyle of anarchists that goes sour, probably because their lifestylists. The plot goes that a group of anarchists — nihilist [happy kind], cultural anarchist / pedophile, druggy, and lesbian / sado-masochist — organize an anarchist collective and a commune in Dallas, TX. The problem? Johny Black, a nihilist extraordinaire, shows up with The Anarchist Cookbook. There 'non-hiearchial autonomous organization' gives way to the testosterone-filled and manipulative leadership of Johny.

I suggest everyone watch it. IMDB profile (http://imdb.com/title/tt0284850/).

He really badly misquotes Bakunin (I think it was Bakunin) in the movie. And it wasn't one of Bakunin's fun anti-semitic quotes...it was one of the good ones.

I saw that movie back when I was an anarchist and it pissed me off. In fact, it still does.

I don't like that movie.
