Joe Biden’s new anti-terrorism initiative classifies “anarchist violent extremists” that “oppose all forms of capitalism, corporate globalization, and governing institutions, which are perceived as harmful to society” as “domestic violent extremists.” pic.twitter.com/GKmsQsGBaA— Ford Fischer (@FordFischer) June 18, 2021
Like what, self-identifying? And if we're talking about coherent, organized, doctrinaire anarchists of the leftist type then I'm not convinced the number would be that high to even bother comparing to other leftist tendencies, because there are hardly leftists at all in the US and there's no standard, structured leftist movement in popular consciousness. My gut says there are maybe something like ten to thirty thousand anarchists like that in the US (without looking at data) and I don't know, maybe the same number of ML types but really who knows. Hardly anyone announces this type of thing.
