For what it's worth I'm not an anarchist, I am opposed to
capitalism, however I'm also opposed to all activity at
Matilda having a Non-Commercial use clause (which seems to
be the effect of the 'anticapitalist position')... I have
explained this before:

I wonder if some more general political discussion /
debate about things like the nature of capital and
capitalism etc would help... I think they probably would
but I don't have any suggested format for something like
this...
