I'm a big fan of Molly's blog actually. It covers all sorts of news (on labor especially) that nobody else seems to know about.

I don't know much about true Anarchist thought : but I can do one better. Head over to Molly's Blog…and prepare to be stunned with the difference in the worldview of this lady.

It's funny. Once I found out about the Russian connection, I started looking at the backgrounds of other people who really spoke to me and so many of them were Russian too – Saul Alinsky, Noam Chomsky, George Seldes, Emma Goldman, Howard Zinn…

Yet my father never mentioned being Russian, and was totally anti-communist (not McCarthy style, but still). Granted, many anarchists are also very anti-communist, but in a different way. I think he was in denial. He managed to pass all the ideas down despite himself.

Very thought-provoking! I don't know enough about real anarchy to feel qualified to opinionate, but you have given me some ideas that I will definitely read more about. Some of the smartest and most thoughtful people I know are anarchists and Marxist Communists. Thanks so much for coming by Hooterville and giving your perspective.

I am not a bit surprised you have Russian heritage. I always thought you might. All my grandparents on both sides of the family were Russian Jews. Not anarchists, I'm not quite either, but definitely beyond liberal. My father told me yesterday he thinks we need a revolution in this country. He was all for Obama but he thinks capitalist forces are blocking everything. He surprised me by saying he thinks we need Communism — the pure variety no government has fully succeeded with. i believe he really means "Social Democracy" and said so. He said no one does that right either!
