I really do not see how Caspar gets from what I wrote to what he charges against me. Sure I want to "win" which is to say, I would like the people to get rid of capitalism and the state (apparently not Caspar's interest). But that is "domination" only from the point of view of the capitalist class and its agents; they will object to having their wealth and power being taken away from them. But to the oppressed and exploited it would be liberation if they (not us radicals but the oppressed) free themselves. Of course this would require recruiting others to agree with us about the need to get rid of the state (again: not Caspar's interest). But where does old Caspar (the friendly ghost?) get the idea that I want to "manage the lives of millions of people"? This is simply slander.

However, I thank C. for letting me know about the work of Bellamy Fitzpatrick. Like BF I am for a decentralist anarchism. As I have written before, I agree with the ideas of Errico Malatesta that the revolution will be made as a united front of a wide variety of organizations and points of view. I expect, and want, different locals and regions to experiment with differing ways of organizing and producing. That's the idea of decentralized federalism and radical pluralism.
