It was not my intention at all. Moreover, if the left anarchists hear what you said and think that I did that, they would view this socialist friend of theirs a traitor, something I am not. They have resisted the Nader and Public Citizen-Mike Dolan entry into , and their attempt to take ownership of, the movement during the Battle of Seattle from day one and there after. Apparently, you don't like the anarchists, at least, not as much as I do. I guess I gave away my feelings toward Nader here but hey! > I would classify anarchists similarly to liberals. > They are left to the extent that they are for socialism > as an ultimate target.

I don't think this classification, that is, classifying them similarly to liberals, is fair. Apparently, you don't know who Ilan Shalif is because if you did, you wouldn't dare to make such a classification. If he heard what you said, he would have killed you here in the cyberspace : ) It is like classifying Louis similarly to liberals. I cannot believe this. When I was in Turkey, I visited some friends one day. One of them is the son of a Marxist-Leninist shoemaker, who himself used to be a member of a "Stalinist" party. He also played a major role in the organization of this so-called N30 march in Turkey. His father, the Marxist-Leninist shoemaker, who is in his seventies, lives with my friend. That day, we were praising our anarchists friends for their contributions to the movement and a few minutes after we started our praising, the father couldn't resist saying this: "They are serving the capitalists." I guess this is an instict of some socialists. Luckily, his formerly "Stalinist" son thinks differently. Sabri
