"Oh no they're feeding people we don't like on land they don't pay our protection racket for, and they self-organized to do it without using coercive hierarchies! Quick, get 'em!"

The general public almost resoundingly believes Anarchy is when you smash a Gap's windows at the strip mall.
Anarchism is when you throw bombs at cops and the more bombs you throw the more anarchism it is.
I mean, they're right. No one way to do anarchy
Seriously. 90% of Americans don't know that Anarchism is even a political philosophy, they just think of it as an adjective used to describe rioters
Just keep that in mind whenever you see articles talking about 'anarchists and looters' or whatever
i mean yes but only on the side
I heard the phrase "total anarchy" being used to describe a windstorm that blew through our city last month. I was so flabbergasted as to why anyone would use a word like that to describe the weather, but then I remembered "anarchy" has become synonymous with pandemonium and chaos, and less associated with political theory.
