Do anarchists and ecologists routinely engage in the kind of barbarism that the US Right does? Is there a tradition of countersubversive expurgatory violence among anarchists and ecologists? Do anarchists and ecologists as a rule tend to call for assassinations, or support bombing anyone? Do they as a rule support the accumulation of weapons and indulge in gun porn? Do they diminish their socially weaker opponents and support their violent punishment at the hands of the state? Is there any tradition of dehumanising the 'other' among anarchists and ecologists? Do by and large inhabit and, through control of major capitalist institutions, encourage others to inhabit, a paranoid alternative universe in which the enemies are pawns of a foreign usurper imposing a socialist tyranny on America? Do they control major media outlets? Do they have a phalanx of elected lunatics spreading bile and filth through airways? Do they run their own private schools? Are they funded by major businesses? None of the above.
