An interesting character.  I'll take your word for it.

That said I stand by what I said about that quote about voting.  It's a stupid thing to say.   I really hate anarchists.  And you are correct I really am only acquainted with the modern version.  Which in my experience invariably turns out to be a spoiled rich kid that doesn't either understand the role the state needs to play with the disadvantaged or really give a shIt.

That my experience with anarchists.   I rank them below Moonies.

She probably caught at least as much flack for that as she did for her radical political stance.
