I am just interested in discussing anarchism. I'm particularly interested in organisation and leadership, the attitude of anarchist to these things. But obviously, I am not trying to limit the conversation to anarchists, any opinion on the topic is welcome.
I have several questions which have been sparked by a discussion with Athos, but this comment by Athos seems as good a starting point as any;
When speaking to myself, an ex-member of SWP, but I guess Athos would extend this comment to most groups on the revolutionary left, he said;
I have left out the term the working class on purpose. We can come onto a discussion about that ommission, but wouldn't people accept that that, The removal of capitalism by the people, and to replace it with a system organised by the people for the people, is essentially what motivates anarchism and the entire revolutionaries left?

ETA "in order to do that, I personally need a couple of compass points/landmarks on the anarchist political landscape, in order to try and create a mental map/picture of what they are talking about.
Don't forget, when I read what they're saying, I read it through political glasses created by the Socialist workers party over the last 25 years, and vice versa for anarchists etc."

I agree with Athos. I would say this is the starting point for myself, and anarchists. The removal of capitalism by the people, and to replace it with a system organised by the people for the people.But, I accept that, at least to begin with, our aims are the same i.e. the rejection of capitalism; and that, more importantly, even though our methods may differ, our motives are essentially the same.
