There's value in the "one bad apple spoils the barrel" adage. I leant over an apple barrel and saw one rotten apple spreading its rot to another; I heard the apple whispering, "Communism is the only solution." The barrel's label? 'Anarchist Apples'. Another barrel, Communist Apples was succumbing to an anarchist one. I crossbred anarchist apples with communist. The result, anarcho-syndicalism apples. But what's this? One of them is rotten! "Libertarianism is the only solution," it whispers.
