Quote:Thank god the arnarchist never thought of starting a political party.
Anarchist parties existed in both the Russian and Spanish civil wars... in the first case they even constituted their own "Black Guard" (as opposed to the bolshevik Red Guard) and had a House of Anarchy in Moscow... reports say it was one of the filthiest, most disgusting places you could enter, likening it to a waste dump...
In Spain their military arm was called "la Colonna de Hierro" (the Iron Column), and on top of losing to Franco's Nationalists they got betrayed by their communist allies in the dying hours of the Spanish Republic.
Interesting bit of history, the anarchists. It's a dead ideology though, like fascism and to a lesser extent communism.
