Your use of the term, anarchist, is both inaccurate and somewhat offensive. A true anarchist wants neither to be controlled (by government) nor CONTROL OTHERS. He or she merely wishes to be left alone and is willing to fight for that right. NO ONE who wants more/bigger/stronger government can ever properly be called an anarchist. Nor would a true anarchist be interested in the wanton or wilfull destruction of either people or private property. Please choose your terms more carefully.

WRT PETA, they are as socialist/marxist as any old line Stalinist, which is hardly a revelation. They represent the total antithesis of anarchy.

Well, goodness, the last thing any of us on FR want to do is to give offense to anyone! The very last!

May we assume from your careful definition and defense of the term "anarchist" that you are yourself an anarchist, by your definition of the term?

um... that seems be a contradiction. That definition is closer to libertarian.
