Why We Fight: a reply to some critics of anarchist street action

There are those who believe that anarchists should abandon direct action and the big summit battles and limit ourselves to "base-building" activities. Some have gone so far as to charge that those of us who fight are "battle junkies,"in it for the adrenaline and little better than mercenaries who keep going back to Iraq.
