: salut,
: we know all it's very difficult to explain what is LIBERTY, because each individual share his own concept; the real problem is to associate and mix these different conceptions of freedom in a global society where each individual keeps a maximum of freedom and is active in this society. and it's there that anarchism, as a form of anti-autoritharian socialist society, is very relevant today. we know that capitalism is freedom of money not of people, freedom of the rich not of the poor, "freedom" the day you vote and not every day... but we also that a important part of the worker movement has been trapped by autoritharian ideologies (communist parties, trotskist, maoist parties) and drived in the dead end where we are today. Spain, Ukraine, kronsdat, cuba and so on, the list is long of revolutionary ideals (liberty) destroyed by the red fascism as said Voline. Bakounine denounced Marx and his system as seeds of dictatorship "socialism without freedom is slavery". When we fight today against capitalism we must have in mind this history and that if it's freedom we want we must have organisations, unions which fight for socialism and freedom at the same time without transition, because we can't trust people who wants to be leaders even for our good.
: sorry for the mistakes

I agree and at the moment the potential for putting forward the anarchist alternative to the whole of society and getting somewhere has never been greater. Sadly most socialists eithwer refuse to accept the obviuos about Lenin, Trotsky etc. or are so looking forward to becoming the future bosses that they tell us most people need to be dictated to.
