What Little Hawk wrote there reminded me of this:

How would you feel if you discovered that the society in which you would really like to live was already here, apart from a few little, local difficulties like exploitation, was, dictatorship and starvation?

The argument of this book is that an anarchist society, a society wich organises itself without authority, is always in existence, like a seed beneath the snow, buried underr the weight of teh state and its bureucracy, capitalism and its waste, privilege and its injustices, nationalism andit suicidal loyalties, religious differences and their superstitious separatism.

That's the opening of an excellent book called "Anarchy in Action" by the English writer Colin Ward - it's out of print, but here's a link to a longer extract and some biographical details. Such as the fact that "Colin Ward was converted to anarchism while serving in the armed forces during World War II".
