Certainly, I am not a anarch. I am an observer of the anarch - from
a bourgeoise position. And I would like to be one of its "painters".
I mean, in the chessgame:-)

Bad movement:-). The anarch offers information in  certain groups,
and when he decides- he believes in litle circles, see Eumeswill.
The anarch analize pragamatically the situations. talking about
THC is not dangerous anymore. More over, could be a funny,
popular detail of an autobiography:-). Modern anarch should take
account medias and publicity are including in the camouflage:-).
This is an example of two movements of the game.

There are a few correct, good explorers. J. Ott. Antonio
Escohotado, Alexander Shulgin are some of them.

The game basis are simply. a: try do build the board- perhaps in a
noveled way. Draw the figures: anarch, bourgeoise, worker,
waldwanger, put them in "our everyday world". Place the enclosing
frame, the laws and the limits.
                                         b: once built, put the "figures" in action.
                                         c: try to do best, but with fair play.
                                         D: lŽart pour lŽart

Best regards
