I didn't find Goodman's lines about Camus's reaction to the guillotine^1 but there is #MichaelHarrington review^2 of #PeopleOrPersonnel that sounds like today's struggle for the internet:
> ... centralized technology and organization are terribly wasteful... #decentralism is proposed not as a panacea but as a practical way of performing certain important functions and doing them better than the centralizers.

On Paul Goodman

If Paul Goodman is the aging lion of American radicalism, Michael Harrington, at thirty-seven, is the most risible of his likely successors. THE OTHER AMERICA. Harrington’s derastating examination of America’s poor, is mandatory for field workers in the war on poverty; his new book, THE ACCIDENTAL CENTURY,will be published this month.
