” … What finally ended Anarchism as a source of terrorism?

World War I. Bloody revolutions in Russia and elsewhere. Fascism.

Nothing like having a million men die in the trenches, or having the population oppressed by state terrorism far worse than the feeble efforts of Anarchists, or suffering through the chaos of genuine, bloody anarchy.

All the ideas of the Anarchists were disproven or shown to be trivial.

My fear is that the only way to end the wave of terrorism that is finding recruits among impoverished and frustrated and extremist Muslims in so many nations of the world will be similar.

The best answer to extremist Muslim views is to live in a country ruled by extremist Muslims. Citizens of Iran under the ayatollahs and Afghanistan under the Taliban are far less likely a recruiting ground for anti-western terrorism.

But the fanatical Taliban and the fascist Ba’ath parties were not brought down by internal revolution — they were brought down by outside invasion (with much cooperation from the people who hated the fanatic regimes).

And I fear that the only thing that will cure the Muslim people of their current love affair with terrorism (for even though the terrorists are few, those who openly sympathize with their barbarities are many and their critics are virtually silent) is the savagery of total war.”
