A very accessible anarchist document July 27, 2006
OAKSHAMAN (Algoma, WI United States)

_Moore has created a very accessible anarchist document here. He emphasises that anarchy refers to a system without leaders- not without order. It is just that we've been brainwashed into thinking that the world cannot run without it's immense bureaucracy of leaders, bosses, experts- and their hired muscle. We've given our power away to monsters and paracites out of nothing more than our own stupidity and complacency. Well, Moore has written a well balanced story that emphasises both the inherent evil of toltalitarian governments, as well as, the complicity of the common man in their continued existance.
_One thing did jump out at me here, the fascists take over in England (apparently the Scots are still resisting) with the SUPPORT of the major corporations- not unlike the way our corporations prefer to do business with oppressive dictatorships in the Third World (democracies are too "messy", unpredictable, and disorderly.)
_In the forward the author expresses his disgust with Thatcher and the Conservatives and describes Britain as a "cold, mean place." I can't help but wonder how he is liking the U.S. these days under Bush and Cheney....
