The problem is one of relative differences. Most of the Salon readers here are insanely left of Bakunin. I chalk it up to immaturity and lack of perspective for how the world actually functions.
I'll tell you, everyone's for limiting and rationalizing health care so that 'all' can have some, until they're the ones who are turned down. Everyone hates lawyers until they need to sue someone then it's "Kill Him!!!"
They great charm of extremists is that they're fundamentally parasitic. They only exist in terms of complaining and fighting the system that permits them to fight and complain. If you've ever lived in one of those really broken countries that Liberals love to weep over you'd understand that people who are scrabbling for food and water and trying not to get shot, raped or set on fire don't give a crap about Voltaire. You'd also see that the 'opposition' to tyranny isn't all that different from tyranny. It's just a different bunch of people who want to be in charge of the same garbage heap.
