Goldner has qouted approvingly some dead french guy who said 'neither left 
nor right always means right' (see his review of 'Dreamer of the Day'). true 
enough when it's Green parties or third positionist fascists saying it but 
hardly true of communists.

>While anarcho-communists like Bookchin often use the
>term "libertarian left"....

the anarcho-communist Anarchist Federation (UK) are 'anti-left'.

i'm anti-leftist because left refers to the left wing of capital whether 
it's socdems, leninists, Greens or certain anarchists.
