Chloroform in print





I´m frequently amazed by the books, pamphlets and brochures sold by Amazon. "Centralism och decentralism" is a short, Swedish-language pamphlet containing two immensely boring articles by syndicalist Frans Severin, first published during the 1920's.

Severin explains the syndicalist preference for decentralism, argues that even a democratic state is really centralized and therefore doesn't go far enough, that syndicalists are opposed to a territorial state, that the labour unions should take over the administration of society, etc.

Zzzzzzzzzzz....

This is truly chloroform in print. Thank heavens it's currently unavailable!
