"Could it be possible that more violence from the left is getting through to the media at some levels?"

Anarchists are not leftists..they are against any government right or left. That said..it's possible that the left is causing the violence and the media is blaming it on anarchists. Tricky little devils they are...

Anarchists are not leftists..they are against any government right or left.

Incorrect. Anarchists are extreme leftists, who buy into the doctrine that at the end-stage of communism, "government will whither away".

What they are against is government protection of private property. Anarchists are in favor of mob rule, with the anarchist elite being in control of the mob. They want the mob to have all the power, and for there to be no defense against mob action.

Not necessarily true. They do tend to hate free market capitalism and want equality in outcome, hate American traditional views/think America is more bad then good, have Utopian views of humanity being born “good” then becoming “bad” via society, and alley themselves with Marxists who pretty much define how far left you can possibly go. I don't know if that's how the dictionary it, but that seems to be the gist of what I find Anarchists to be. Noam Chomsky defines himself as an anarchist.

Allow me to re-state that slightly: “Anarchist” is the word applied by the MSM to lefties who get out of the groove, get a little frisky, hurt somebody, etc. It just wouldn’t do to call a violent progressive social democrat something that would identify who he really is. A true “anarchist” would just head to the woods to be left alone.

Oh sure they are. They believe if there was no “government” everyone would just share everything - they’re incredibly dumb communists. They don’t realize that in “anarchy”, or, the natural state, they’d be killed off in the first round.

There is no right, there is no left.It is all BS designed to give people in politics some way to define themselves other than dictatorial, or libertarian. Those that love dictatorships are communists, royalists, Oligarchs, Socialists, so called anarchists, and theocrats. Libertarians, or those that love liberty, want govt to be small, well defined, with only enough power to keep the streets clean, organize a justice system, keep social order, and protect honest citizens.
