bottom line it anyway.

I don't really like the idea of someone who was called out using the flying brick for event space, but i also need to go back and re read those emails. I would try to talk with peter again but i honestly don't know if i have the capacity at this point.

But I figured I should ask him about it since it made people not want him here. I need to go back and see if i can find those old emails.

Regardless, I kind of think only having a few weeks of planning time for this event might be a problem, but I'm not gonna be able to help organize it so that's not really my call I guess. I am also curious if Peter knows TFB was contacted, as he probably remembers he wasn't welcomed here a few years ago. hmmm

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.
