For anarchy to succed or simply to advance towards its success it must be conceived not only as a lighthouse which illuminates and attracts, but as something possible and attainable, not in centuries to come, but in a relatively short time and without relying on miracles.
Now, we anarchists have much concerned ourselves with the ideal; we have criticised all the moral lies and institutions which corrupt and oppress humanity, and have described, with all the eloquence and poetry each of us possessed, a longed-for harmonious society based on goodness and on love; but, it must be admitted that we have shown very little concern with the ways and means for the achievement of our ideas.

i think that anarchy is only truly successful in theory, but never in actual practice. when it is practiced it's most often a cliche.

Book Exchange: basically I submitted for approval of a group for it called "SG Book Exchange". How it will work is this: you gather up some books you want to let go and share with the other members. You post what you have avaiable, a brief description of the book, so on and so forth, whatever. If someone is interested, they contact you personally to exchange addresses and such. This makes it so you regulate your own info. If you want to post your address in a thread, it's up to you, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Anyway, yeah, there are alot of details to be worked out, so basically once/if it gets approved, those who join the group are going to help me iron out the kinks and together we'll lay some ground rules.
