Re: As Russia's recent history proved (none / 1)

My point was that the source of power here is a security state that will happily label ("terrorist"), incarcerate or kill either unruly, "chaotic" perpetrators--or anarchists, and sees no distinction.

Blackwater in the Big Easy, and death on the bridge. Was this guy an agent of chaos--or an anarchist? Does not matter. Just meat now.
