just finished a new typesetting for Kevin Carson’s “The Iron Fist Behind the Invisible Hand.” Part of this will go into this month’s Market Anarchy zine, “The Subsidy of History.” The rest will also be available as a long-form, separate booklet.

To-day at Fair Use Repository: G. E. Lind vs. Ross Winn on “Anarchism Exploded,” from FREE SOCIETY, Feb. 16, 1902.

Lind: “Anarchism declares war on the State, which is just as nonsensical as the Democrats ‘smashing the trusts,’ etc. Socialism would not smash the trusts or declare war on the State, but will absorb the State, and by so doing will absorb the trusts…”

Winn: “By establishing the most gigantic trust conceivable—a State monopoly. It is not the forms of monopoly that are evil; but its essence—the principle that abrogates liberty—that sets bounds upon the play of social activity.”

Lind: “… and all the instruments of production and distribution, the result of which would be the abolition of economic classes and consequently the abolition of the oppressive capitalistic State, and the inauguration of the cooperative commonwealth.”

Winn: “But your cooperative commonwealth, administered by State officials, will have society divided into two classes—the workers and the governmental directors of industries. The State ‘boss’ with unlimited power, will constitute a class, and consequently the cooperative commonwealth will not abolish ‘the class struggle.'”

is looking for new dwellings in Auburn starting sometime around August. (Our landlord seems to believe that the ill-maintained 3BR apartment we’re in is worth $100/month more than it was when we moved in. I am not sure that I agree.)

is listening to fado and re-styling WordPress widgets

Dear LazyWeb: any recommendations on SSH clients for Android? Needs to be able to support keypair authentication and the ability to launch remote commands automatically instead of a login shell.

I have a client (ConnectBot) that works O.K., but it has a weirdly dysfunctional remote launch — what it actually seems to do is launch a login shell, feed the command you gave into that shell via the keyboard, and then sits around waiting for you to press the Enter key.
