btw, the dictionary definitions of anarchism say almost nothing about the varity of positions that have been elaborated by anarchists--most of them really are, as was said earlier, about democratic control, often direct democratic. it is not about the absence of order, but about the question fo who controls order. it is not about the absence of law, but about the absence of formal law that reverses the relation between the people and the state--for anarchism in general, organizations should be subordinated to the people. this would require an informed polity and minimal distortion of information. which is one reason why these kinds of arguments about social/political form seem so abstract to americans in 2004.
