[robert cataldo]

All of this sounds great, but I do vaguely recall Peter being called
out on some serious stuff.  To be honest, I think whoever wishes to
bottom line this should ask him directly.  I could put some feelers
out to get the other side of the story. thanks salem, rjc

I have no capacity to help organize this and I may not be in town but I wanted to pass along the info to see if anyone was interesting in hosting this. If so, I'll pass along contact info.

But in short order, a number of strategic errors weakened the revolution and enabled the Communists to crush it definitively. This important near success and ultimate failure serves as a model for how different anarchist currents can interact for better and for worse.

The strategic focus will be on what forms of interaction between different currents leads to a strong anarchist space, and what forms have led to major errors or defeats.
