Anarchism involves the violent overthrow of the government while a mild form of political opinion labeled "decentralism" (by anarchists) is just a Constitutional avenue for legitimate political discourse. Maybe foreign posters don't have a grip on Constitutional issues in the U.S. but the fact is that extreme left wing administrations thrive on political unrest that involve degrees of anarchist behavior. Obama's political guru and sometimes law partner, Bill Ayres was an admitted anarchist. The current president (democrat) called for a freaking "revolution" when RvW was overturned. My point is that foreign left wing based cliches are a dime a dozen but the fact is that anarchism is a left wing political tool in modern America.
