TOTW: National Identity and Anarchy

I've been thinkin'. Y'know, bout countries? I am writing this from a place the old coot who inadvertently brought me to the anarchy I know today called "The Untidy Snakes of Amerikkklan." Something that always got him riled up, other than Maoists being allowed at May Day, was when people would refer to the CNT/FAI of 1936 with the shorthand of "The Spanish Anarchists."

If you haven't been following the Prairieland "antifa terrorist enterprise" case, it ended pretty fucking bad. Comrades were convicted on federal felony charges based on activities such as owning a printer and moving a box of zines into a car.
