The shuttle was designed in the early 1970s. It is retro. But soyuz was designed in the early 1960s. It is classic.
Come to think of it, the shuttle has lost 14 astronauts in 26 years, while soyuz has only lost 3 cosmonauts in 40 years. Newer technology means newer failure modes.
Some suggest that Apple intends to restrict each file to its original app.
Honestly, how many Apples have Word, Excel, etc. files on them? How many Apple users use Textedit, Pages or older Appleworks software with these? And why would Apple give Microsoft control of those files? Locking down Word files to Word, Excel files to Excel, etc. would only hurt Apple.
It's worth asking what this *is* for... and what this *could* affect.
(If worst comes to worst, I'll keep this machine. indefinitely.)
What has anarchist communism to do with state communism? Anarchism calls for the abolition of hierarchies of power (including state violence). Anarchist communism calls for the dispersal of economic power among the people, and state communism calls for the concentration of economic power in the state. Anarchism rests on free association, including the ability to pool or divide resources.
Anarchism does not equal Statism
Anarchism does not equal Nihilism
Why are anarchists (libertarians) responsible for the actions of Marxists (statists)? When you look at the actions of actual anarchist groups, not Marxist groups, you may find some surprises; check out the 'Makhnovist' Insurgency Army in Ukraine 1918-1921. Skirda's book isn't bad.
The Feds went after Indymedia sites hosted in the UK. And the Feds don't recognize 'pure trusts': under US law they don't exist (since 'pure trusts' try to preserve de facto control while avoiding de jure control, that's no surprise).
What about nonviolent anarchists?
Some of us cannot stay silent; some of us must speak against war and murder; some of us have been beaten, and gassed, and tortured; some of my friends have suffered permanent injuries; some of my friends' friends have been killed during torture.
When the police are torturers, the police do not serve the people.
When Mueller accused the Black Cross (modelled on the Red Cross and about as violent) of terrorism, he threatened other nonviolent dissident movements. Were Mueller to suppress the Black Cross (and other nonviolent dissident movements) he would drive some people from nonviolence into violence. So it is no surprise if some people make inappropriate jibes about return violence.
Indymedia did that, and the feds seized the servers. Indymedia got them back, but that involved the illegality of the FBI seizures in the UK over the US/IT MLAT.
WTF? #2
"I have no sympathy for anarchists. They cannot create, only destroy."
Like Tolstoy destroyed War & Peace?
Anarchists have created many things: newspapers (Albert Parsons), postal networks (Ben Tucker), soup kitchens (Dorothy Day), labor unions (Bill Haywood), resistance movements (Nestor Makhno), etc.
I am honestly wondering where you get these ideas.
I would point out that anarchists oppose racism and nationalism, and that we organize to oppose it. I would also point out that some of my best friends are Jewish, except that it's a cliche. I think that a binational Palestine (either one-state or no-state) would be an improvement over the two Israeli and Arab states in the region.
I would also point out the historical anarchist support for federate democracy, consensus democracy, and direct democracy, often considered inseperable. Federate democracy: created by the free consent of individuals and communities, where each individual or community is free to disassociate (leave). Consensus democracy: requiring consensus instead of 50%+1/2 (no tyranny of the majority). All more democratic than any representative-democratic republic.
It is not an anarchist organization but the IWW clearly shares many of the same concerns as the anarchist movement. Look it up (www.iww.org). There are also many anarchist organizations and websites available, ranging from market anarchists (www.mutualist.org) to communist anarchists (www.nefac.net).
