I agree about most of this, the only part I question is how much he was ever interested in the actual philosophy. I've never heard anything from Cantwell that wasn't completely racist, violent, misogynistic, and generally pretty hierarchical.

I don't agree with a lot of his personal biases and I don't like how he always put those into his writing and talks as if they are part and participle of anarchy rather than his personal prejudices in addition...
But yeah, his sudden cuckery begs the question of if he was ever an anarchist or simply a political hipster.
As I recently explained, being an 'anarchist' that votes or advocates the state is like being an atheist that goes to confession or advocates the church. If you think the state is, at best worthless, at worst destructive, then why would you engage in it or support it? Even if to 'destroy it from within' which, any person who thinks about it, would know never works, just as the FBI infiltrating gangs and the mafia never worked to dismantle them.
