That last line is quite curious, though. As far as I know, only a very small fraction of modern day anarchists is self-describing as anarchists. Most of the others consider the term unfashionable and derogatory.

Here in Europe the self-describing Anarchists are the Punks and the Black Block and they tend to drive people away from a cause by co-opting it.

Black Bloc is a tactic, not a group. The anarchists here have all turned into Maoists who venerate the Naxalite rebellion in India. Chairman Mao figures prominently in the old anarchist space I used to go to back when it was also a hacker space. Peasant armed revolt is ridiculous in a first world country, I stopped going also it's full of state spies to watch for anti pipeline protest planning another good reason to avoid the space.
