Libertarian communism and capitalism - an introduction was used in the latest issue of Anticapitalist, the freesheet produced by local Trot group Socialist Aotearoa. SA were born in a split from our local Socialist Worker, and are basically just held together by the two main activists' quite considerable egos. They're even more hyper-activist than the local McAnarchyists...

Credited now. Although the pdf did have a link to libcom and Asher knows as well as anyone that there are as many anarchists as trots in Socialist Aotearoa.
It's an excellent introduction to capitalism, I'm sure Libcom doesn't mind us reprinting it. And I'm curious about your motives on this one, as you don't seem to have worried about crediting Unite for various photos you've used in articles on libcom eh.

Seriously we have dozens of comrades who your comments are actually quite offensive to. you should come and meet some of them or take back your words.
Oh and I'm not sure what you mean by hyperactivism.
Do you mean that Socialist Aotearoa activists actually organise strikes,
like these ones

The link to libcom isn't actually a credit for the article, there's a link to an unrelated libcom article on a previous page.
Also,
The final paragraph of that article wrote:
We need an anti-capitalist, revolution to reorganise our world.
They took that article and then put bad grammar at the end![/massive pedant]
Can comment on articles and discussions
The headline they've given it is:
The National Party being the current governing party in NZ.
