We have discussed Paul Thomas’ book in a number of articles including #13 (Jon Bekken, Bakunin and the Historians), #61 (Jon Bekken, Bakunin and the First International). There is more that is not popping just now, and we’ll try to update this note.

1. The latest issue of The New York Review of Books has an article on Enric Marco, who was the secretary-general of the CNT. Are there any back issues of ASR that cover his life?

2. Is there a review in ASR of Paul Thomas’ “Karl Marx and the Anarchists?”

best wishes,

Some are barred on the basis of citizenship, others on the basis of prior criminal convictions. People are barred because they do not have a permanent address, or because they live on a reservation. Many states require ID which millions do not have. Polling places are closed in poor areas, or provided with insufficient voting machines to ensure hours-long lines. Huge numbers are purged from voting rolls. The barriers erected to voting are myriad, and it is quite clear that they disproportionately affect minorities and the elderly, the poor and those living and working in precarity. It is clear that millions were barred from the polls in the most recent elections.

Are you referring to permanent residents? I though the United States had a one adult one vote system

The SWP are a trotskyiet organisation, not a leninist one, according to google, and there is a diff.
Its a pleasure to hear about Moorcock, as I had given up on him after Elric. I’ll look up his other works.
The dispossessed was great, and the ending to Use of Weapons was quite dramatic in my opinion, haven’t read other Banks yet.
