Inspired by a recent thread on Jesse James. Old West gunfighters, like pirates, Mafia figures, street gangs, and other non-governmental figures serve as anarchist types to look to for study and ideas. This provides an anti-establishment alternative to 'great man' narratives hailing generals, politicians, and others typical as exemplars of the status quo. A kind of Robin Hood version of history.

At least that is my anarchist opinion.

Trailer to Young Guns. Epic. Easily the best Billy the Kid movie - and the film highlighted at the Billy the Kid museum near his grave in New Mexico:

Billy was a mick from New York and son of tatercaust immigrants by the way. A contrast from James' Confederate background.
