Re: Give them guns and whiskey and nothing to do!

"Anarchosyndicalist" takes me back to teaching in the New York public schools. An old line Communist assistant principal used the term to abuse a teacher for defending worker consultation in factory management in Yugoslavia. It's more than a little scary that Stalinist anti-Trotsky rhetoric is still used by those faithful to That Man in the White House (to use a phrase going back to the same era).

I admit I have a soft spot for anarchosyndicalism, though the LRC folks don't seem to. A couple of years ago I posted something on Mondragon (http://www.livejournal.com/users/arisbe/47323.html), which has some links to the experiment which may be useful. But LRC is anarcho... capitalist. Why not call them that? I suppose because Capitalist is a Randian God term, and to many so-called Objectivists anyone who criticizes the Iraq war is of the Devil's party.
