the continued marxist trajectory of anarchism puzzles me as well, i don't see any reason why there are those few people who feel the need to defend the actions of brutal dictators, especially since in the US educators tend to aggressively tell people how much of a dick stalin was. I guess it makes them feel subversive to tout the most radical/revolutionary in a country that despises communism and socialism. Or maybe they just read the entire das capital and were convinced that it should be the bible, i understand this even less because it's such a boring and long book.

I also don't fully understand why LBC has continued interest in the anarchist scene, they were around during the NATO craze which i guess is part of it, but generally any space that has the "anarchist" label is a moralizing hell hole where people just can't accept the way other people are. I would have probably gone to the green scare if it was a couple hours from me, but the only way you really enjoy those gatherings is if you are still really into ELF/ALF ways of thinking or you are a vegan. They probably would have thought i was a cop and just talked shit about me behind my back anyway.

I've been to two anarchist book fairs and didn't really feel like i had any reason to continue developing any sort of a friendship with the people there, even if i gave them my kind words of support when they said things i thought were true.
