Dear Mirek and all,
I am giving below the link to an article on the merits of Anarchism:
[www.hindu.com]
Anarcho-syndicalism, the term used in Mirek's post is probably synonymous with Voluntary Socialism advocated by Noam Chomsky.
The reason that Anarchism is attractive is that it recognises the basic human need for freedom of the spirit. The challenge is to devise a system that allows this freedom and yet has a working structure that enables people to coexist and live in a community.
The various struggles, including the 'Oxaca story', are attempts to manifest the spirit of freedom in the face of authoritarian system, that fails to appreciate because of its own inadequacy to do so.
Simply downplaying Anarchism, as Bruce is doing, without trying to understand the spirit behind it will not help to make progress in human thought.
