I don't think it is John. How many times have you heard the following exchange.

'Ay it's shite isn't it.'

'Ay - thae bastards think they can get away with anything!'

'Ay - what are we going to do about it.'

'Hmph, whit can you dae? Nane o the rest o them's interested.'

I think the main problem is not how to convince people of anarchism but how to convince people of solidarity.

Yeah but it doesn't mean the former is of no value, but otherwise I agree.

Hmm, maybe. But for as many anarchists as I see 'active' (most of whom aren't doing much useful towards the class struggle it has to be said), there are just as many devotees of anarchist ideals who do absolutely nothing towards any struggles. They don't even write down what's going on. They just act like everyone else in society, with the addition to them of some esoteric ideology. And I'm not talking here about retired activists.
