this piece is an excellent example of how upside-down especifistas and neo-platformists are. typical for hyperorganizationalists, they start from the *form* of their struggle -- formal membership cadre-based with ideological and tactical unity -- and then plug in particular types of oppression to expand their (alleged) base among (alleged) anarchists. because they are organizationalists, they aim to recruit, and their drive to increase membership always homes in on the generic leftist milieu of oppositional social justice activists who have not yet committed to a different political party (and i use the insulting term "party" deliberately). hence their invocation of rights and popular power.
intelligent anarchists long ago dispensed with the discourse of human and civil rights, and anarchists with authentically radical principles will always strive for dispersing power rather than concentrating it in any particular construct ("the people" or whoever).
authoritarian anarchism marches on!
