Hey people, I'm new to the forum. I got into anarchism relatively recently and I'm still developing my politics. At the moment I'm extremely frustrated with the current leftist milieu here in the US, especially the "activist" culture that is so dominant in the "anti-globalization" movement and it's weak political analysis. (i.e. indymedia, adbusters, etc). Can anyone point me in the direction of a coherent critique of "activism"? I know I'm being frustratingly vague here, but I'm not sure how else to put it. Are their any articles/websites/books that people can refer me to, or just a summary of their own thoughts on the matter?

Again, I'm new, so apologies in advance if this is in the wrong forum or somehow an inappropriate question.
