There are a lot of people who call themselves Anarchists. A lot of the online ones seem primarily interested in perpetuating American radical individualism in a "I don't want to participate in society and telling me that I have to cooperate with others and not just do anything I want with no repercussions is authoritarianism".
Most of my critiques of American Anarchism is trying to work with Anarchists who believe it primarily means they can do whatever they want and don't have any obligations to others beyond what they choose to have. Like they're not thinking about how to bring about a fundamentally different society, they're thinking about how great it would be not to have building codes and be able to do their own plumbing and electrical. It's all American individualism, "every man in his own castle" rugged frontiersman bs with a thin coat of left paint. There are more theoretically sound Anarchists but they're a lot thinner on the ground.
