Colin Ward....

Too late, I know, but this is not a zeiteist type of blog now is it?

Colin Ward had (has) a fundamental influence on my thinking regarding anarchism (Norman Dennis also being key, despite being an ethical socialist) - no longer was it some sort of utopian dream, which can so easily lead to theoretical escapism- but rather it can be a day to day method in practice.

It doesn't feel right commenting much more, given how little I do with regard to overt political activism, so read this nice obit from Stan Cohen:

And at the very least, read his books...
