Thanks, but rather than the utopian no-need-for-government dreamers, I was asking about the anarchists like the guy someone posted about who, after 25 years in jail for assorted bombings, is trying to recruit troublemakers for NY next week. Does he have any guiding political philosophy, an ideal world he thinks his actions can help create, or does he simply despise all authority and feel it is his right to try to destroy whatever the hell he wants? And what about the anarchists who team up with greens, "anti-globalists", neo-marxists, neo-nazis and any other fringe or single issue group they can find to disrupt G8 summits, WTO meetings, World Bank and IMF conferences, etc.? The others have clear, if misguided (to be kind), agendas, but the only agenda for those who call themselves anarchists seems simply to create anarchy - to destroy. In other words, rather than political protestors for a cause, they appear to be nothing more than gangs of unstable people who take advantage of the political passions of others as an excuse to go on violent, destructive rampages. Am I missing something?
