I'm skeptical.","article":"I'm very dubious of people who claim to study \"the Extreme\" and then lump communists and anarchists together with white supremacists.  Who knows, maybe they'd even say that indymedia is part of \"the Extreme.\"\r\n\r\nA group that claims to be scientific should know that sometimes \"extreme\" views are quite appropriate when it comes to solving problems which are deeply rooted and screwing over massive numbers of people. In my opinion, anarchists and communists generally tend towards the correct solutions of bad situations, whereas the views of white supremacists are based on scientifically incorrect  assumptions and always make things worse.","author":"@","parent_id":15177,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2002-02-27 20:21:36","modified":"2002-02-27 21:00:05","fileurl":""}]}
