Carvalho calls for a socialist state organized around factory, office and neighborhood councils, in contrast to the bureaucratic societies envisioned by both the PCP and the PSP. Loosely allied to Maoist, Trotskyist and anarchist parties, Carvalho has received only sporadic formal support among industrial and agricultural workers, who comprise perhaps 30 per cent of the country. But Carvalho is personally popular, supported by a widely based rank and file movement for workers' control similar to the one which precipitated last March's decree nationalizing banks and insurance companies by taking over those institutions...
...fictionalized account of life in the Portuguese Communist Party underground. The book, written by a pseudonymous "Manuel Tiago," and currently being widely read in Lisbon, helps explain one of the mysteries of Portuguese politics: how a small Communist Party founded in 1921 as an outgrowth of the working-class anarchist movement emerged as the most cohesive political force in Portugal at the time of the April revolution. For nearly 50 years, its members had been hunted, jailed and tortured by the secret police of the Salazar-Caetano dictatorship. How did they manage to survive...
...wife Evelyn Nesbit. White goes to his grave and Thaw to an insane asylum. But Doctorow has his own plans for Evelyn. Down from her red velvet swing, she drifts to the immigrant slums of New York's Lower East Side, where her social consciousness is raised by anarchist Emma Goldman. Sigmund Freud confronts the pleasure principle at Coney Island and cannot get back to Vienna fast enough...

He now opposes war, government in general and most U.S. Government activities. He has become, in fact, an anarchist and a tax resister. As much out of sheer angry cussedness as conviction, he admits, he refused to pay the Internal Revenue Service a penny in 1966; nor has he given them any money since then. The IRS, in response, slapped a 100% lien on any money Hess earns...
...barrel-chested man, whose post-Republican beard lends him a faint resemblance to Fidel Castro, Hess spends most of his days in the warehouse that contains the office of Community Technology Inc., the self-help organization for which he serves as unpaid project coordinator. Surrounded by posters of Russian Anarchist Mikhail Bakunin, Mexican Peasant Leader Emiliano Zapata and Revolutionary Pamphleteer Tom Paine (all of whom he admires "because they kept on doing their own sticky things until the world changed"), Hess pursues a variety of projects that more than make up in imagination what they may lack in immediate applicability...
