Cool to see that you included the NEFAC analysis, Mobius. Though I’ve had many quibbles with their analysis, I find them to be deeply principled and thoughtful. Their magazine, the Northeast anarchist, is much more analytical and much less cheerleading/propaganda than one finds in many elft publications. And perhaps because of their antifascism, they tend to be far more careful not to slip into anti-Semitic lines of anlysis than some groups. Always worth a read, even when one disagrees with them.
