Spanish Revolution aside, I don't know of many non-authoritarian armies that had the economic base to achieve a similar size, amount of equipment, and level training as their enemies."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.

I know. The anarchists have never really had much of a chance (not even as much as I'd say democratic socialists like myself have)...12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

BTW, examples of your criteria include the Makhovists or the Zapatistas... Of course, they never had the size to fight off the Soviet or Mexican gov't's, respectively."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.

That's the thing; they seem to work well for local resistance, etc. I'm not sure how well they'd work when applied to a unified, nationwide army which is fighting an all-out conventional war...12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

Well, there is the Spanish Civil War... And I think the militias did pretty damn well."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.

Against. Probably one of the few here with a seamless garb.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

I better start watching out who I talk to here... you might be a bunch of convicted felons or something....
For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)Comment

no. thats not what i said. It will give them ideas. When somebody starts telling you how they found it easier to knock over a seven eleven if they just shoot the clerk, this could easily turn a common crook who is listening into a murderer.This is just plain stupid. Murderers will tell other criminals how to murder?"I bet Ikarus eats his own spunk..."

The moment of fear that thier victims had, right before they were going to die, is something all murderers should experience first hand. Lets see how much balls these tough guys have when they know they are staring death in the face.I see the world through bloodshot eyes
Streets filled with blood from distant lies.Comment
