- David Marcus, The Horizontalists, Dissent (Fall 2012) (one cheer for horizontalidad and Sitrin, one jeer for
an aging and vertically inclined Left
, and a lot of boringly predictable Leftist guff aboutlarge-scale institutions,
larger structural vision
and a silly moral painc at the bogeyman ofaspirations
— oh dear! —dangerously close to that of the libertarian Right
) - Andrew Flood, An anarchist critique of horizontalism, Anarchist Writers (2 May 2014), the somewhat predictable anarcho-syndicalist perspective on Occupy, Kazin, Sitrin, Marcus,

revolutionary movements,
information technology and the effect of a press that has been infinitely digitally dispersed, etc. - Andrew Flood, Turnips, hammers & the square – why workplace occupations have faded (7 May 2014), more of much the same, with some look at precursors to 2011, and a landscape of globalized economic complexity.
