The anarchists I am familiar with aren’t motivated to do this kind of thing... to date it’s been socialists doing this.

Ummmm - it's the act of causing havoc and anarchy that makes them anarchists.

Without the action, the title is meaningless. With the action, the title is self-evident.

Being a Socialist doesn't make one immune from being an anarchist.

An anarchist is simply someone who wants to live without government.

“Causing havoc” is not in the definition. It does not cause havoc to wish for the absence of government. “An-” = without, “archy” = government. Plain English, clear etymology.

Actually, yes it does. Socialism is a form of government; anarchy is the absence of government. The two direct contradict each other.

Being a Socialist may not forbid them calling themselves anarchists, but they are portraying themselves falsely when they do.

Genuine anarchists call for an entirely voluntary society - the exact opposite of what Socialists call for.
