An Anarchist FAQ has been updated (version 13.0)

An Anarchist FAQ has been updated to version 13.0 on the 11th of November, 2008 (sorry for the delay in announcing it).

"An Anarchist FAQ" is an indepth introduction to anarchist ideas, ideals and history. It explains why anarchism is anti-hierarchy, anti-state and anti-capitalist. It discusses why anarchists oppose the current system, how we plan to change it and what kind of society we want.

"An Anarchist FAQ" can be found at:

(the last webpage is the old "main" site. If you link to that, could you please change it one of the alias sites. Thanks!)

There is a new mirror for AFAQ (http://anarchism.pageabode.com/afaq/index.html) plus an official AFAQ Blog (http://anarchism.pageabode.com/blogs/afaq). The blog will be used to make announcements, news, post replies to criticism as well present material which
was not included in the final version (for whatever reason) or unfinished material
which may be of interest to readers.

So What's New in the FAQ?

Version 13.0

Significant revision of the section on the anarchist critique of
Marxism. Removing of section H.2.15 as this is covered elsewhere in section H as well as section H.2.16 (on the Spanish Revolution) as this is covered in section I.8.11.

section H.6
http://anarchism.pageabode.com/afaq/secH6.html
New section on the Russian Revolution, including an expansion of what were sections H.3.15 and H.3.16 plus a new subsection on labour protest under Lenin (http://anarchism.pageabode.com/afaq/secH6.html#sech63).

This revision was made as part of getting the second volume of the FAQ ready for publication.
