hey - just heard briefly about this organization on this page:
http://www.blackcatpress.ca/Kontrrazvedka.html
in the short description of the organization, they say the organization stands for "legal anarchism and evolutionary destatification of society."
so... anyone know about these guys? are they actually an Anarchist political party in the Ukraine? because that's what it sounds like from the description...
x, that's the very same link i mentioned in *my* message, that's how i heard about 'em 
sorry, first week back at college full time after spring break. 
"legal anarchism and evolutionary destatification of society."
maybe it's the translation, but this makes no fucking sense.
Not only is it a political party, but there is a strong capitalist current in it. From what people tell me, some more "normal" anarchists joined in one city last year, but it is in general, pretty scary, especially the capitalists who like Makhno - but this isn't too odd in the context where some people were portraying Makhno as some sort of "third position".
From what I've been told by the guy who translated the book they are basically reformist anarchists. They don't advocate revolution and believe in a gradual change to an anarchist society.
What's creepy is the capitalism, the political party and the occasional photo montage rally pictures I saw where they superimposed black flags in people's hands.
Completely absurd. This is just social democracy for kooks.
I think even on the 'capitalist' tip they aren't unified honestly. From what the translator of the above book said they petitioned the Ukrainian government for control of a certain backwater city, this included some industry from what I'm told. It didn't sound like their agenda was privatization they are probably just really politically pluralistic to the point of contradiction.
Anyways the book is really good and has nothing to do with these guys.

A short history of the riots against new education laws that turned into a mass collective rejection of apartheid South Africa by thousands of working class black youths.
Class conflicts and colonial expansion in the context of the Little Ice Age lead to the emergence of capitalist agriculture and the transformation of social relations on a world scale.
