In his foreword to an earlier collection of essays on libertarian communism, Daniel Guerin addressed himself to younger people 'alienated from ideologies and 'isms' shorn of any meaning by an earlier generation' and particularly from 'socialism, which has so often been betrayed by those who claimed to speak in its name, and which now provokes an understandable skepticism.'

We hear from street musicians and singer-songwriters, players and...
