  1. Well I'll give it a look over when I have some time, but that bit about Marxists being fascists is absolute bullshit (I don't even have to read his argument to know that). Do you know the man's politics?
  2. Can you give me a rundown on what the topic is? I'll look at it more later, but am just too lazy and tired at the moment.
  3. Ultimately it sounds like they could be liberals waving a black flag, but I guess it would be impossible for me to tell without knowing them. But honestly the reliance on spontaneity is a serious hinderence to the left, its even plagued some Marxists (Luxembourg). Sounds like the view, Lenin's theory of the vanguard as being a group of enlightened intelligentsia which seize state power and attempt to guide the uneducated masses to socialism; nothing of course could be further from the truth then that caricature.
  4. Yupp I was an anarchist for a couple years, mainly in the insurrectionary strain. What was really the breaking point for me was a few things: (1) rejection of the notion that 'power corrupts' which is a conviction which can be traced back to liberalism, (2) gaining a better understanding of the 'state,' anarchists view the state as having some sort of mythical power and being able to turn on the class in its possession, (3) the realization that the libertarian - authoritarian scale is a false dichotomy. Any questions, or help I could offer, I'd be more than glad to toss in my two cents.

    I saw you were interested in joining the Bordigist group. I am keeping that group restricted to those that are or sympathize with Bordigism. If you are just interested in the ideas of Bordiga and Bordigism, then I would suggest you join another group I made, the Bordiga Literati group. If you do consider yourself a Bordigist or sympathize with it, then just let me know.

    The Great Purges were not some ultra-centralized affair where the leadership had total control. If you want good academic books by non-communists on the subject see The Road to Terror by J. Arch Getty and Life and Terror in Stalin's Russia by Robert Thurston.

    The view of "Stalinists" is that there was more or less a conspiracy to overthrow the government that was revealed through the purges, yes, although many innocent people were killed in the process (something Stalin himself admitted.)
