I want to thank all those who commented on my article on Pound, Race, and
Empire.  I will write some detailed replies in a day or two, when I have
more time.

The question about Proudhon greatly interests me.  I do not think Pound
mentions Proudhon in any of the Cantos or in any of economic or social
writings, but I may be wrong.  Perhaps Mr. Surette would know.  Pound would
obviously have been hostile to such thinkers as Proudhon, Kropotkin,
Bakunin, and other anarcho-syndicalists, nor did he appear to have any
sympathy with the inheritors of their legacy in Republican Spain.  He
prefered Franco.

There are many political and economic reasons for Pound's dismissal of "el
pensamiento libertario," which we could go into later.  I think that is a
very fruitful area for discussion.
