#notes In 2019 Ted made this private feeling public in a small footnote of an [[https://archive.org/details/eb.-published-political-books-by-ted-kaczynski/EBB4.%20Technology%20Slavery%204<sup>th</sup>%20Edition/page/110/mode/1up][update to his manifesto]] in the book *Technological Slavery*: “In 1995 I described FC as ‘anarchist’ because I thought it would be advantageous to have some recognized political identity. At that time I knew very little about anarchism. Since then I’ve learned that anarchists, at least those of the U.S. and the U.K., are nothing but a lot of hopelessly ineffectual bunglers and dreamers, useless for any purpose. Needless to say, I now disavow any identification as an anarchist.”

5/7/00. I think most U.S. anarchists bunch of neurotics, incompetents, leftists. U.S. means United States. Anarchists worthless as tits on a rainbarrel. I can’t tell you how much they disgust me. I maintain contact with them only because know no better U.S. antitech groups. Some Brit anarchists maybe better. This open question. I keep my contempt for anarchists private as matter of policy.
