I noticed that the tubes (that I was on anyway) had proper Underground people on them today in the carriages - how very coincidental - and also coincidental that these bozos have been invited over during half-term when London is slightly less crap for travel

2 manchester (they still have all the crap from the commonwealth)
3 My back garden (if I am paying I might as well have a good veiw.
4 Indonesia help bring the tourists back

The enforced, fair and equal* redistribution of wealth is the same thing as a government. It's what governments do. Socialism and anarchy ought to be opposites.

it could be argued that in enforceing you create a hierarchy and are no longer an anarchist. Enforceing the redistribution of monetery wealth in a anarchist ideal with no nation or currancy also seems a bit barmy
During the spanish civil war quite a lot anarchists were shot by marxists which makes it all the more weird, the unionisation of the workers is the link.
But sing with me
The peoples flag is deepest black
The red ones for the beurocrat
The people will soon smash the state
we will shoot the vangaurd while we wait

but it shouldn't be.
redistribution of the wealth is something which is most effectively done by personal ambition. and helping out those who are in poverty or out of work is something more effectively done by charities and the compassion of the public.
in many cases the welfare (/redistrbution) trap makes the real working class worse off and destroys the economy, whilst allowing the government to rub one anothers cocks and say "look how charitable we are", and furthermore serves to make services (like the NHS and education) try to 'remodel themselves' as businesses, screwing everyone over but their board of directors.
the government should stick to protecting people's rights, and allow smaller organizations, like councils, charities and cooperatives take care of people's needs.

There is a middle path between socialists and anarchists. See anarcho-syndicalism, as opposed to anarcho-capitalism.
