Well with anarchists that is, because if something becomes a tradition it is because the 'members' think it is worth keeping. Anti-semitism did not become a tradition, for instance, even though Proudon and Bakunin thought it to be important. But if the phrase was unclear, my bad, sorry. I did not choose this English language that I did not grow up in. What I meant to say is that antimilitarism, for good reasons, has been a central value in anarchist thinking and practice for a long time. And is now being thrown in the garbage can with very bad arguments, if any. Nu jij weer.
