Global Issues and Anarchism
For those of you studying A2 Political Theory and A2 Global Issues there is a potentially interesting programme called ‘The Enemy Within’ being screened this evening at 8pm on Channel 4 which draws comparisons between ‘modern’ British jihadists and 19th Century ‘Victorian’ anarchists. The idea is obviously controversial and has attracted comment in a number of today’s papers.
The Independent carries an excellent article entitled ‘Blood, Rage and history - The World’s First Terrorists’ and explores the issue of whether this anarchism bears any relationship to the jihadists who bob the very same targets today.
