I miss being an activist...

Yes, as we said at the weekend, the combination of your upset at not being active _and_ your continued ability to be moved by the issues means your soul is still intact.

Exactly!

To be honest, I've spent more time being what some term a "lifestylist" than I have spent as an activist. I was only really active from 2001 through 2006... but I've been an Anarchist since roughly 1993.

I will get back to it. I know that. I am very much still an Anarchist; as [livejournal.com profile] blaisepascal observes, I have not turned into my own antithesis. And the fact that I miss the work makes it ever more likely...

(am still reading my way through FAQ you linked me to BTW)

Oh, you started in on the Anarchist FAQ (http://www.infoshop.org/page/AnAnarchistFAQ)? Excellent! Please let me know what you think as you read various parts!

Also, am not at all surprised that you are still working on it. Actually, I would be quite surprise if you had finished! There is a lot of text there!

Although the different sections stand alone and there is no need to read it linearly from "cover to cover", Resourceress and I started at the beginning in early 2001. We made our way through the introduction and Section A before our steam petered out partway through Section B. If you find a part that particularly grabs you, though, do let me know! I could read it, too, and we can discuss!

Love you lots!!
