thechamp, really good post.
you summed up what i was going to say.
someone said that anarchism was so far right it is far left? i see anarchism as more of a 'no wing' politics, since it dismisses politics all together. In spain in the 30's (get yer beards out) anarchism was truely in action, people took control on their workplaces, for example, the tram system was run by the CNT, and the trams were incidently 40% more efficient. the communists were finding it impossible to work with the CNT because they wouldnt accept orders from people with higher ranks, the organised in collectives, and were actually much more effective as a team because they didnt have to wait for orders, they all worked it out between themselves.
thats more like anarcho syndacalism. anarchism today takes many forms, and anarchists are even pretty split between themselves, you get primitavists who want the end of civialisation, you get anarcho communists who want to organise in their workplace, you get trendy anarchists who want to open coffee bars the use anarchism to sell coffee, you get eco action activists, you get 'crimethinc' anarchists (lets say the new romantic anarchists) who swan around dumpster diving...they all slag each other off, for example primitavists are hippys and crimethinc people are lifestylists.
my point is that at the end of the day, they are all working towards the same thing...more or less. Anarchism isnt far right (although there is such a thing as anarcho capitalism....the free market, but lets not go into that), its full of different diverse ideas. circle a cycles look like they are doing a real great thing,
as the champ said, the bikes are the most important thing, as people interests bring many different types of people together, im sure we have so many different views on this forum yet we all talk bikes.
and more importantly, circle a have design skills. i love their website!
