Anyone who knows anything about 2nd world war history won't make that assumption. Anyone who does is easily corrected. I wouldn't worry.

Kid at my school was in a car that rolled. Window was down and he had his arm resting on the frame or something. He stayed in the car, his hand got a bit fucked up, but they reckoned if he hadn't been strapped in then more of him would have been pulled out and under the car.

My parent's have pretty much trained me from birth to always wear a seatbelt, to the point that I now tell them to put theirs on.

Yeah, we had a similar experience in france. We were spending a couple of month a year in a tiny village in rural france, trying quite hard to learn the language and get involved in the culture because my folks wanted to move out there eventually (never happened, sadly).

Some posh buggers bought a manor house just outside the village - all they wanted to do was be english, drink and eat english food, talk english to other expats and shop at the one shop that had some english speaking staff. They wanted a permanent holiday rather than wanting to experience a different culture.

As an anarchist, why do you favour individualist conceptions of a stateless society, rather than those of collectivist nature (Kropotkin for example), especially since we have seen in recent decades how capitalist interests and the states interests often coincide. Can the struggle for a stateless society be anything but a class struggle, if property is still privately owned, how does one avoid the domination by capitalists rather than by the state?

(Never really been interested in individualist tendencies within anarchism, but I'd be interested to know your opinion.)
