I could care less what you as an individual thinks, we have thousands of open Nazi's around still, why not people like yourself.

You made no statements to stand by really and thank you for being my proof reader. Please focus on yourself and read a book even if it is just for its mistakes. Your definitions of Socialism and Anarchism are wrong. You can stand by being wrong but that's just kind of silly.

I stand by my statements and claim your wrong, I also think you used a double negative in your response.

amsterdam78 You don't know much about Chomsky do you?
Chomsky would NEVER not claim to be a strong Anarchist.
You may need to redefine your wrong understanding of Socialism and Anarchism

You so called anarchists sit around in your little conventions and whisper about revolution, but I'm sure you would defacate your trousers and run away if faced with a tank or tear gas.
The people who really fight for revolution are Buddhist monks. Those men have some balls. They light themselves on fire and stand up to Chinese police. You intellectuals on the other hand think your doing something, but all you are really doing is paying Chomsky's bills buy buying his words.

republicans didn't come into existence until close to the civil war.

wrong. the modern Republican Party came into existence clost to civil war, but the Democratic Party was founded by Jefferson and at the time called the Republican Party.

1) Chomsky and all lib-socialists are just anarchists to afraid to say so. They want a revolution, then they want to destroy all the power the revolution created for the people.
2) This would look less STAGED without the clappers.
