It was in your response to your rather lousy assumptions about anarchists in general. I just happened to name a few (though not conclusive) who didn't fit your generalization.

You were caught on it, and now you're still coming at me with yet another straw man.

I'm entertained, are you?

I suggest reading about a subject before making generalizations. I'd also not put words in other people's mouths when trying to debate them, but that's just me. You are certainly welcome to your own way of arguing your case, however much of a failure that may be.

Just because I'm feeling rather generous, I'll provide a link to Daniel Guerin's Anarchism: From Theory to Practicehttp://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/daniel-guerin-anarchism-from-theory-to-practice in the hopes that you may clarify your preconceived notions about such a diverse philosophy as anarchism.

Farewell.
