I like your ezine, and i do support just about everything you are saying, however i do have some disagreements with your view of anarchy.

First of all, i feel the foremost aspect of anarchy is the belief in a better world through a lack of authority. I do agree that peace is a very important factor because since wars have always been caused by greed, taking land,people,etc.,etc. amounts to authority, so war and anarchy can not coexist. There are many anarchists,published and unpublished, prominent and not so well known, that would adamantly disagree with the peace thing because they feel that no authority will willingly give up its power without a fight. I disagree with that myself, because i feel if one can enlighten that authority then they would see the fault of their own misconduct and give up authority(even though it would be extremely difficult, i like to think it could happen)

Second of all, the anti-government part is true to a full extent, as well as all other authority, it goes to the very creation of the word. "an"-against "archy"-authority.

And since you stated yourself that there is no one definition of anarchy, how can you pretend to speak for all anarchists. Although other anarchists may disagree with you on many parts of anarchy, it does not invalidate them as anarchists. If you feel they are not anarchists because they may support violence, or any number of things, by saying they are not a part of one's movement, this destroys all hope of a real anarchy. Our dream of anarchy can only begin to become reality with the unity of mankind. not just the working class,or lower class, or middle class, but all humankind.

Also on your page on what thought crimes is about, you might want to add direct action, to ways of creating a better place to live. direct action means by simply ignoring a certain law and doing it publicly so that others will see your example and disregard a certain law, therefore making the law useless, and in turn weakening the authority. Direct action also means directly confronting(not violently) the organizations, and people who cause the oppression. Simply doing DIY projects alone, won't do much other than teach you to make stuff for yourself, unless oyu educate others to do the same. you must prove to others that DIY is more valuable, than corporate made shit, or else their not going to go along with you.

Again i do agree with most of the stuff your saying in Thought Crimes. This is not a bitch letter, just offering some friendly advice. No offense to you is intended in this letter, in any part of it.

Anarchy will only be created through unity, enlightenment, and mass direct action.
