their actual end is just all-out anarchy and chaos.

I do not think it is that.

It is simply total power over everything.

They would not have control over anarchy and chaos.

What is desired is absolute power. They want to be God.

After what Louis Grignon, Michel Foucault, Jean-Paul Sartre, and even Karl Marx pulled where they advocated for destroying the state and leaving everything in total anarchy, with friends and enemies being indistinguishable regarding deaths, similar in fact to what the Joker from Batman advocates, I’m not entirely sure they simply want absolute power. Even a double-standard set of law and order that only exists as a way to show their absolute power is still technically law and order, while with those guys, they want even the very concept of law and order outright gutted altogether, not even allowing for double standards, let alone TRUE law and order, which is what power is derived from anyway (short of the supernatural, true power in other words).

To put it another way, their actual end is closer to what Jerome Valeska and Joker tried to pull post-mortem in Gotham and in his ending to Injustice 2, respectively:

I can tell you one thing, Joker and Jerome certainly didn’t give a darn about absolute power, they just wanted pure chaos for its own sake, destruction for its own sake. And Michel Foucault certainly didn’t want absolute power based on the following exchange with Maoists, and if anything wanted something even WORSE than that:

Sartre too, wanting to make Dostoevsky’s warning about no god = everything being permitted into an actual reality.
