"I will work harder"


As the first original piece of this project, I would like to explore the merits, if there are any, of a constant move towards becoming a better militant. Was Alexander Berkman right to criticize his comrades for even the merest excess that could have gone to the movement? Is this useful thinking, or does it over emphasize the role of one individual and create an air of elitism that will discourage mass involvement? Any comments or insights are welcome.

Connected, I am also looking forward to finishing a piece on the role of the militant, and a libertarian concept of elitism, summarized as striving towards group success and betterment, advancing what is strong and shoring up what is weak.

Solidarity is thicker than Blood!
