Actually there is a "postanarchist" tendency developing that may have some
linkages with the postleft idea such as the embrace of anarchist diversity
and the critique of class reductionism amongst other reductionisms. It was
originally articulated by Saul Newman from Australia in his book "From
Bakunin to Lacan: Antiauthoritarianism and the Dislocation of Power" but is
based largely on Todd May's book "The Political Philosophy of
Poststructuralist Anarchism" and Stirner's "The Ego and Its Own." However
since most of the Anarchy Magazine folks say they hate postmodernism
(especially Zerzan) I dont think it is *too* closely linked with their
ideas but there are certainly many common nodes. Personally I have no
problem with moving beyond political identities such as "anarchist" or
whatever - in fact I think political identities in themselves are basically
authoritarian in that they by their nature tend to homogenize and subsume
differences and divergences.
