someone asked me if I have written anything about my hostility to Marxism. I said:
no, but it's just the standard criticism of Marxism that we have had since Bakunin argued with Marx and accurately predicted all the problems that a Marxist revolution would cause, and that Emma Goldman observed in My Disillusionment with Russia.
on a more theoretical level, my position on Marxism follows directly from Malatesta's theory of action; on a more practical level, from being Latin American and a middle-aged insurrectionist, both things that have given me ample experience with what Marxist entrysm does to a movement when it coopts it.
