I use terms such as "anarchist ideology" and "left-anarchism" because I disagree with your points, not because I didn't hear them.

Perhaps you would rather lump yourself with those right-anarchists who carried out pogroms against Jews as they attempted to smash the Bolshevik revolution. I doubt you belong in that camp.

The fact that anarchists espouse an ideology and deny that they have one, this is obvious to most outside observers.

Your opposition to the establishment of a worker's government for socialist revolution that includes the democratic participation of the people, is part of your obvious ideology. Such ideologies are dangerous in that they can lead to a failure of the worker's movement to seize power at key junctures and subsequently lead to massive defeats of the working class.

Spain is a perfect example of this type of failure of the anarchist movement. Lacking their own perspective for seizing worker's power the anarchists joined the capitalist government in an ill-conceived attempt to defeat the fascists. This was at a time when the capitalist class was backing the fascists and the struggles of the working class had put worker's revolution on the agenda. Instead of putting themselves forward to lead the worker's revolution, the anarchists joined a capitalist government with no future while the Stalinists made similar mistakes. The Spanish revolution failed, not because the Spanish working class did not fight heroically, but because the revolutionary movement lacked the needed leadership.

Like the Spanish anarchists, the Zapatistas have failed in most of their objectives because they have refused to make their struggle one for power. Instead, they destroyed the momentum for revolution in 1994 by getting bogged down in useless negotiations with the Mexican government. Since then they have managed to sabotage their remaining revolutionary momentum by supporting the PRD (a capitalist party that came out of the long ruling PRI) and by failing to use their guns to protect the communities that have identified themselves as Zapatista from the government and its death squads.

To succeed, the struggle against capitalism must be a struggle for power.
