First of all I thank you very much allowing for me to reach you without going through the Big Brothers (hustlers or spirit peddlers, called media giants) such as facebook, twitter et al.

In this context I would like to quote D. H. Lawrence to show you don't have to be an official anarchist to make very profound observation about our situation now.

" The great SPIRITUALITY of our age means that we are all physically repulsive to one another. The great advance in refinement of feeling and squeamish fastidiousness means that we hate the  physical  existence  of  anybody  and  everybody,  even  ourselves.  The  amazing  move  into abstraction on the part of the whole of humanity – the film, the radio, the gramophone – means that we loathe the physical element in our amusements, we don’t want the physical contact, we want to get away from it. We don’t want to look at flesh and blood people–we want to watch their shadows on a screen. We don’t want to hear their actual voices: only transmitted through a machine. We must get away from the physical."

A comment on the following phrase:

As Malatesta said,  “For me there is no doubt that the worst of democracies is always preferable, if only from the educational point of view, than the best of dictatorships.”*.

In seventeenth century England, in a pub, people were discussing how best to protect themselves from the onslaught of ruling thugs — king-queen and their new aspirers — somebody said to ask for help from educated people. A cobbler present responded:

"Forget the educated people; they always side with the oppressors"

Now it is infinitely clearer that, except for the infinitely small numbers amongst the educated, they are the perfect bootlickers of all people on earth, but the myth goes on. They committed horrors against all living and non-living in vying with each other to serve their masters, no matter who they may be, yet they wash their hands by blaming on the uneducated people. I think you, like all the left over anarchists from 19th century and like the majority of 20th century anarchists believe, "The WEST is the BEST, but can be BETTER."

Do not forget that education is not only one of the biggest industries, if not the biggest, also the biggest brain washing factory along with media (Internet+Television+Journals, let alone the horrible daily life imposed by the masters of the world).

Where was the EDUCATION in the 90% of human history on earth?

Note: When the English revolutionaries in pub arrived in Americas and met the uneducated people, massacred or helped massacre them. Perhaps this may be historically incorrect (not the people in the pub) but historically too correct.

Why adhere to contextually understandable ideas without realizing that it is no longer as innocent as it may have been when Maletesta pronounced it? Education was promoted to achieve equality; it is the best producer of inequalities.

In any case, the article seems to be written by a blue eyed blond anarchist. Unfortunately that's all we have now: Chinese, Indians, Russians, all Asians, all Africans, all Middle Easterners have all been recreated as blue-eyed blond in image of the last reincarnation of the monster called Civilization, The West.

We are not born to be educated, we are born to live. An Inuit, referring to the educated people who study them, said it better than me:

"They torture us with their questions!"

After all the "democracy" is a cache-sex.

And here is what Marshall Sahlins says about the blondest and blue-eyeist of all, called US of AMER-ica:

"Even apart from a history of slavery, the same contradictions remain true for contemporary Americans who are pleased to believe they "live in a democracy" although they spend the far greater part of their lives in undemocratic institutions such as families, schools, capitalist workplaces—not to mention the military and bureaucratic organizations of government itself. Hey look, people: the democracy has no clothes."
