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.

Yep..the left likes to co-opt everything for their own purpose. These are likely leftists that the left does not want to identify with and so they label them something else to throw people off the trail.

Make no mistake...we are in a socialist state right now...have been for decades.

Exactly. An example true anarchists would be the fur trappers of the 19th century. They had no political agenda and subscribed to no ideology. They didn't want to control anyone else and refused to be controlled by anyone. They didn't stay where laws and rules were enforced by others and try to change things. They left and went where no one claimed control over them.

These so-called anarchists are the exact opposite. They want the most rigid statism possible applied to enforce their leftist view of communistic equality.
