Actually, some really weird links brought me to anarchist websites. It actually has a formulated system of “rules” and there are left anarchists and right anarchists. I don’t understand most of it though.

There's no such thing as organized anarchy. So while there may be some people calling themselves anarchists because they want to steal a TV during a riot, they really aren't.

I recall attending a speech by Karl Hess, back in the late 70's or early 80's. Hess was a Nixon speechwriter, and a friend of liberty, who became disenchanted with politics, resigned the political fight, moved to West Virginia and became a welder. His writing appealed to libertarians of both the right and the left.

At this speech, there may have been 200 or so attendees, the lefties sat on the left side of the room and the righties on the right. This wasn't planned, it just happened naturally as attendees arrived, scouted out the room, and sat next to friends, or next to those who looked like friends. It was a memorable site. Kids with long hair, jeans and "don't tread on me" tee shirts on the left, bow tie clad old right intellectuals on the right.

Just out of college myself and not too well read in the literature of liberty and politics, this was a revelation to me - a sign that the mainstream left vs right single dimension political spectrum was seriously flawed.
