Anarchy in the UK!

I've had a interest in Anarchy for a couple of years now. Now don't get all worried, i'm not going to hurt anyone. But as a student of culture and social and political philosophy, I did in fact write a HUGE paper on anarchism (specifically the Spanish variety from 1880s-1930s concerning mainly their art and propaganda) as my senior Honors project. I recently read an article concerning a specific annoying variety of British anarchism, and though the article is hard to understand completely without knowledge of British contemporary history, it did leave with a few thoughts that i think are quite applicable in everyday life:

"For most of the history of the proletarian movement, a demanding critical thought was not seen as alien or elitist. In fact research into the use of union libraries, workers' book collections, radical publishers etc shows that 'deep' theoretical works were often far more widely read amongst sections of the proletariat than the upper classes. Knowledge was something that had to be fought for collectively and did not come cheap to the poor, and was therefore all the more highly valued." (emphasis mine)

"We want action not theory' - a slogan fit only for headless chickens."

We'd do well to remember that one... I can't help but think of it in light of my culture. We'll just jump into argument and action without a second thought. Study. Know what you actually think. Have good reasons. Then we can talk civilly.
This is why i find anarchy so interesting...
