I take your point, though its still a valid example of a large group of (anarchist) people who were able to hold directly democratic meetings and hold true to their ideals of of a classless collective, and they did pretty well besides being crushed by the Spanish fascists.

Mostly I was responding to Razeal's "everyone would get ***** and killed".

But now I realize, as I should have realized before, that there's no point in responding to anything Razeal says because he can't seem to grasp... well, any concept, as far as I can tell.


Basically, raz, your argument has been "Your ideas are wrong!" and then when we have a rebuttle, you respond "That's not what your idea was!"
