Emma Goldman was an anarchist, no?
I agree with your general point though. Anthony Sutton's work on this subject is invaluable, and the interviews with him on YouTube are an excellent way to introduce people to the idea (still shocking to some) that the Cold War was a monumental deceit. He is an engaging speaker and he presents the information in a concise, sober and academic fashion. None of the ranting or histrionics of an Alex Jones type.
I thought that Chris Hedges piece was excellent, even though there are some areas where I disagree with him (his endorsement of different forms of statism, his rejection of 9/11 truth, etc.) There is no question that he is one of the best writers around on the subject of civil liberties and the importance of art and creativity as resistance to tyranny.
