. . . and the only self-described Marxist I know also calls himself an anarchist. He's dead serious on both counts. I happen to think he's kidding himself, but Marxist anarchy is no more ridiculous or impractical than free-market anarchy
Hmm, it strikes me as rather odd that anarchism could ever be equated to free market economics. Anarchism is by definition socialist in nature. Bakunin was both a socialist and an anarchist, because anarchism is non-authoritarian socialism. He was not however a Communist, and was the part of the opposition to Marx authoritarian socialist ideas.
Hitlers National Socialism had nothing to do with socialism at all, Hitler was vehemently anti-socialist, and had socialists killed. National Socialism = right wing totalitarianism, communism = left wing totalitarianism. Equating all socialism with totalitarian socialism makes about as much sense as equating all capitalism to fascism.
Actually, I'd say its anarcho-socialism, socialism without an enforced hierarchy of power. I don't see why people are so blind to think there is no socialism but totalitarian and bureacratic socialism.

Much easier said then done. This was no traditional hacker attack. There was no single source. It was a coordinated action of civil disobedience by thousands of people across the world.
Unfortunely the article didn't give a link to Electronic Disturbance Theater, so I will give one http://www.nyu.edu/projects/wray/CHRON. html - This give a record of previous EDT actions including the one mentioned in the article. The incident was not really a hacker attack, it was a coordinated effort by people around the world basically reloading the web pages of the Pentagon, Mexican President Zedillo and the Frankfurt Stock exchange not as a means to do harm, but to publicize and display their displeasure about the situation with the Zapatistas in Chiapas, Mexico. YA BASTA!
