Not at all. I find that you need to explain a lot of things to anarchists. How would the expected occuring be irony?

The catholic church sided with the fascists, so of course they got ****ed in the end.

I coulda told you that right after you described a minimalist democracy as anarchy. I thought we were engaging in playful banter.

By the way, frank, if you look under the name you'll see my self applied description. Don't get too bothered by what I say. I'm admittedly an idiot.

I have a lot of Anarchistic views, I guess you would say more along the lines of Anarcho-syndicalism. I also like the idea of having Anarchist communes with in other society's, as long as they are willing to work with not against Anarchists.

I will need to read up on the Ukraine in the 1920's, I know a lot about Spain.
