They produce and market things that trade on their "quaint" image and they are often "branded" with family names. I've no problem with that but "anarcho-communism" is not an accurate description at all.

Eric Blair (George Orwell) always maintained that strong, effective English prose avoided Latin (or in this case Greek) derivatives and relied on precise, ‘everyday’ words.<br />(See his essay, “Politics and the English Language”)Richardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164556861454970487.post-25569221823508102662010-08-19T13:55:44.814-04:002010-08-19T13:55:44.814-04:00Superb!
