Anarcho-Bicyclist Conference Manchester April 2011

It is redicilous and sad that so many anarchist are actually quite far to the left of the political view and are much closer to communists and socialists, which has well and truly been shown to be a complete disaster every time it is attempted.
Sadly people still don't get what it was about.

Much of what we call anarchism is based upon anarcho-communism. Anarcho communists played major roles in both the Russian Revolution and the Spanish Civil War. In both cases the Marxist Leninists sought to liquidate them as soon as their purpose was achieved.

Don't stamp anarcho communists with the failures of Marxist Leninism.

Good book on the subject is Emma Goldman's account of her two years in post revolutionary soviet union and her growing disillusionment with the sovirets. That and anything by Orwell concerning the Spanish Civil War.
