The story of the 1908 baseball season also has some links to our own times - I found the description of the anarchist movement of those days eerily similar to some of the rhetoric from Julian Assange and his followers, as well as Anonymous, Lulzsec and the antisec “movement”…
In a larger sense, the anarchists were doomed by their own contradictions. They swore they believed in freedom, but were ruthless at policing any drift away from orthodoxy.
