Anarchists' Convention Debates Whether Voting Makes You a Bad Anarchist

The Associated Press



ATHENS, Ohio Aug. 16, 2004 — A group of anarchists is taking an unusual step to make its political voice heard going to the polls.
Anarchists generally pride themselves on their rejection of government and its authority. But a faction of them fed up with the war in Iraq say they plan to cast anti-Bush votes this fall.

The voting debate was just one of the topics explored at the three-day North American Anarchist Convergence, which brought about 175 participants to Ohio University.

Some attendees rejected the voting proposal.

Others said they are embracing their right to engage in the political process, and plan to vote for John Kerry, Ralph Nader or anyone who can underscore their opposition to the Bush administration.
