Enacting the Impossible (On Consensus Decision Making)

Don't agree with everything but a good piece. It must be said however that there has long been an argument, one which I favor, against consensus decision-making in the anarchist movement. If you are interested in the topic here are three essays I recommend. The first two are by Murray Bookchin whom, I confess, I adore. His ideas are seminal and have shaped my own.
