in what sense is the socialist movement (i presume you mean the trots) 
petty-bourgeois? liberal-oriented certainly and maybe even grand-bourgeois 
(in politics not class background).

>The petty-bourgeois, liberal-oriented anarchist >movement

i'm no capital A anarchist but this sounds like the standard stalinoid abuse 
of anarchists. how about some justification? there is certainly a communist 
critique of anarchists to be made but just slagging them off as 
petty-bourgeois doesn't cut it.
