There are, no doubt, many people who genuinely see Anarchism as the way forward. There are many powerful people who see as a tool of the state.

Read Joseph Conrad's The Secret Agent. Wikipedia says: 'Although a member of an anarchist cell, Verloc is also secretly employed by Vladimir as an agent provocateur. Vladimir informs Verloc that he is far from an exemplary model of a secret agent and, in order to redeem himself, must carry out an operation - the destruction of Greenwich Observatory by a bomb explosion. Verloc later meets with his friends, who discuss politics and law, and the notion of a communist revolution.'

research into the origins of Anarchism, and not just as an ideology, and you will find that it was created by the State. It was to be deployed against enemy nations. Today, Anarchists are used by the police in demonstrations to justiy a police clampdown. Look at the G20 protests in Seatle.

Don't be duped!

... and ignore the trolls/nutters.

"insidejob" ... that you are.

I love anarchism as much as anyone, but if everyone put their little thoughts and poems on here we would be swamped. Indymedia is for publishing news, not a free webspace for people to vanity publish every thought they have. This should be removed.

And insidejob, you post is even more idiotic that usual. So because someone once wrote a story about an anarchist being used as an agent provocateur, that means anarchism as a whole was created by the state. Riiiight... So everyone should carry on consuming, behave themselves and stay at home.

Since you seem to like being bossed around by other people, perhaps you'd tell us who your choice of superior is?

anon - don' know what your problem is with the post. the newswire is hardly swamped with anarchist poetry! makes a nice change imho

ALL OF YOU: why not go out and do something anarchistic right now...go on, get up and fucking do something!

insidejob = fuck off, you moron

the poem was ok, some of it was written for the likes of me, so its good to see.
