] Each issue contains essays on current anarchist theory, anarchist history, an exchange of hot topics, as well as one or two book reviews. The journal has been continually published since 1981 and is currently edited by Howard Ehrlich, compiler (among other works) of "Reinventing Anarchy, Again." Bookchin identifies social anarchism with the "left," by which he refers to the "great tradition of human solidarity and a belief in the potentiality for humanness," internationalism and confederalism, the democratic spirit, anti-militarism, and rational secularism. However, religious anarchists and those on the Religious Left in general would object to identifying the left with "rational secularism" as there are and have been many powerful left-wing religious movements such as Liberation Theology and the Civil Rights Movement. Social anarchism aims for "free association of people living together and cooperating in free communities." ref|2
