Right around the time OWS was saving President Barry's bacon, some right-wing magazine pointed out there were two trajectories in socialism: the anarchist and the communist. The anarchist felt true socialism would be achieved by the masses without any restraints. You see them today in the little anarcho-syndicalist grouplets running around wearing black. The communist school of thought stressed the need for a "vanguard" to make sure the masses were taken care of and to ensure the academics had a place in the New Order. They were at the front for years in various communist parties all over the world, but time has not been good to them. Communists think anarchists are flakes and anarchists think communists are thugs.
