re: Rational Anarchism....

interesting article Frank and it shows me how little I know about political and philosophical stuff.

Somehow it seems there are radical left-wing anarchists, and right-wing anarchists like the ones mentioned in the article. I would never join the former because of their atheism and uber-militantism and total hatred of capitalism, which is idiotic. However, I could also never join the right-wingers, because I am very pro-labor and workers rights. That is important to me ..

Nonetheless I can see I should be paying more attention and consideration to the right wing stuff too

When all is said and done, I believe in moderation - some capitalism, some welfare-ism - something of a mixture. That may or may not make any sense analytically, but I really don't trust ideologies any more in any case. They should never be implemented in the real world of human beings .. too many people suffer and die as a result.

Meanwhile (as I said recently) at least we've got the US Bill of Rights, which could an essential reference for ANY just society IMO - regardless of its political bent.
