    Columbo. Addressing the question of “if.”

    Peter Falk: “If we hadn’t pulled it off, would you have killed him?”

    Rod Steiger: “Why are you asking stupid questions? We did pull it off.”

    Thank you. Anarchist sympathies still prevail in southern France, where Marx is not liked so much.

    The rural population seemed to divide as either Anarchist or royalist.

    TS – “Won’t even waste my time reading it.”

    We waste our time reading you. We’ve answered all your justifications for state-run butchery many times over … Over your head. But then, like all the apologists for totalitarianism, you only repeat state propaganda and cannot handle substance.

    Why was Anarchism more popular in Latin southern Europe, and Marxism associated more with the north?

    Thanks. I didn’t know. He has gone back up in my estimation.

    Jean Jaures was murdered by a patriot for opposing the war. And yet, I believe Jaures was a pioneer of “socialist” reformism (?)

    It is evident that contradictions were about long before the internet.

    Kropotkin’s secretary was Elisee Reclus, and Reclus’ secretary was Alexandra David-Neel, who became a Buddhist. 😀

    Oui, c’est vrai.

    Makhno confronted Kropotkin face to face over the latter’s support for the war.
    Makhno’s life was fighting, but not for any state.

    We measure significance according to what impacts our own existence and the things we care about. It is subjective.

    True Imperialist, you still watching those old war movies with Nazi baddies vs Soviet heroes? Tiresome. Change the record. We’ve had page after page here of your repetitiveness. You have nothing to tell us, yet you keep on doing so.

    The Guardian ran a story earlier this year that the Queen had died. Oh wait! That was in The Guardian.

    At university the leftist student union not only refused to print my notices advertising local SPGB meetings; it also trashed my socialist article on the 1989 Peking crackdown.
    Those left-wingers have ended up as stockbrokers in the City!

    Finally I managed to get my SPGB pieces published in the university chaplain’s Anglican newsletter!
