73. this does target them by tainting the brand and while the NAME doesn't get any traction, some of the

ideas are gaining: horizontal democracy instead of hierarchy, especially in the work place, the open source software movement, even things like Wikipedia are anarchist and cooperative at their core.

As an idea, anarchism is more dangerous than centralized communism to the financial elite. If you have one dictator or a junta in a communist country, the rich can use their standard tricks to corrupt or coerce those at the top (at least from the outside). If power is truly shared, that's a lot harder to do.

Case in point: cooperatively run businesses versus corporations. Can you do a leveraged buyout or outsource all the jobs of a company where the employees have at least as much voice as investors?

That is so disturbing to the rich that one of the conditions NATO imposed on the dismembered Yugoslavia was that they privatize the last of their collective industries even though they were doing just fine in that mode.
