The anarchists in this book could've been a gang of shoe-sellers for all the anarchism they engage in. This is unsurprising, as they were pathetically "anarchist" in the show. There's a severe confusion between Soviet communists and anarchists (which is baffling, to say the least).

Though, I will say that it's like someone looked at Emerican Johnson and their state-commie friends was like "Yes, this is a good representation of anarchism." (Kerry Greenwood wouldn't know that reference, but she also wouldn't have known an anarchist if one bit her on the nose.)

Granted, all the Latvians seem to be distinctly not Latvian? Which is also kind of funny in its own bizarre way.
