Phew, someone else selectively quoted you and thought it was yet another “Hurr, how are the anarchists able to organise a bookfair, hurr, I’m an ignorant redneck.” But I digress! You ask a good question and I’ll provide a luke-warm answer: Most anarchist groups do essentially operate independently, but there is a vast need for them to communicate and sadly ‘peer to peer’ amongst groups is often haphazard. More importantly, you’ll rarely hear about the work similar groups are doing if they are geographically distant (so as an example there are a minimum of three anarchist tech collectives in North America that I know about. I can guarantee you that there are at least three I don’t know about and a pile of them that are too small to be effective by themselves). Often people form central bureaus who’s main job is to act as a clearinghouse for who’s doing what, what’s going on, etc. Helping independent groups come together so they can accomplish more. That could be an HQ but not in the traditional hierarchist sense of “The HQ makes the decisions and everyone else follows those orders”

(as an example, see the 1907 International Anarchist Congress. While it isn’t highlighted the article mentions the establishment of an Anarchist International, and a communications bureau to be sited in London.)

Unless, of course, I hear from others that this is teh bomb… but, then, the countdown timer on the front says it’s over 3 years away, so, we’ll have all forgotten about this by then.

Sooo tempted. Just trying the demo can’t hurt…can it?

Because even anarchists have to chill out somewhere.

I showed my brother the screens in the other post and he was like ‘Left 4 Dead 2 screens?’ It looks great, sounds like it has the potential to be fun, and if nothing else will have given us those truly pants-wetting trailers with the pretty girls.

Are you a:
A)Knight –> Templar
B)Pirate –> Illuminati
C)Ninja –> Dragon

That about covers all three, and then I could have signed up faster for their newsletter.

I got Illuminati, natch. I’ll be the one buying out commodities and squeezing the crafters.
