You wanna napkin? - Anarchist NetAdmin

On Indymedia, there is this report about the FBI's attack on an anarchist webserver. They actually use the phrase, "removal of this sever [sic] would be a major blow to anarchist organising worldwide." I wonder if the anarchist network has a NetAdmin with exclusive rights, or does every user have Admin rights? I always wanted to be president of my University's Anarchist Club ... y'know, for laughs 'n' shit.

Seriously, is anyone surprised by this? I mean, they advocate violent demonstrations (yes they do, yes they do, yes they do ... Seattle! 'nuf sed), the Left was completely silent while the Clinton Administration promoted and funded electronic surveillance initiatives (Carnivore, Echelon) while violently suppressing protestors (Waco, Washington), now those chickens have come home to roost, and they undoubtedly blame the Bush Administration. Sure, the BA is the efficient cause, but they and their compadres accepted the final cause long ago (the formal cause of censorship being, "all people with whom I disagree should be prevented from being heard").

If you are for free speech in principle, then you have to be for free speech for everyone. That's why the Right should be ashamed when protesting the ACLU's defense of Nazis, and why the Left should be ashamed for promoting the double-speak-inspired "Fairness Doctrine".
