[edit] Bookchin as green anarchist

Seems to me that Bookchin is a good example of an green anarchist. He's prominently noted on the page for Green anarchism and his Ecology of Freedom is often cited as a key text for the field. Cheers, --Dylanfly 20:42, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Have you read Janet Biehl's "Murray Bookchin's Break with Anarchism?" Best wishes, --TouristPhilosopher 16 October 2007

My sense is that Bookchin was an anarchist, published as an anarchist, contributed to anarchist theory, then decided (after many books) that there were better directions for society. But those late conclusions in life don't invalidate his earlier relationship to green anarchism. Cheers, Smilo Don 21:28, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

To my mind he was an anarchist. The problem is that the people who call themselves anarchists today don't agree with me, with you or/and with Bookchin. Bookchin call them life-style anarchists. I agree with him. So for me its ok to call him a green anarchist but its real confused still call him anarchist after all his "fights" against the irrational and life-style trends of anarchism. I believe that Bookchin's anarchism has nothing to do with today's anarchism. So if we call Bookchin an (green) anarchist we have to find another label for today's "anarchistic" trends. No meaning. --TouristPhilosopher 18 October 2007
