cheers dood. think i'd agree with most of what you'd say there too.

it always really bugged me that the SWP would criticise those who 'over-simplified' and'or promoted the 'great indivviduals' theory of history, and then do exactly the same thing re Bush's War etc. Bloody stupid.

Anarchists tho....hmmmmm...Yes of course there are many who I have a great deal of time and respect for (Direct Action was another of the groups i used to be in), but they can easilly be just as bad as the trots. Many have, as you say, an excellant view and knowledge of history, many (probably the majority i meet sadly) have difficulty what they had for breakfast. And historically, anarchists have been just as bad as the commies. Nestor Makhno was an utter shit, very happilly wrote in his diaries at his joy in seeing more reds strung up. Proudhon and Kropotkin were hardly much better either.
