Anarchy is not chaos, or shouldn’t be. Emma Goldman, at her turn of the last century best:

There have been a few Anarchic communities in history, all of them highly organized. It’s like the Bob Dylan quote “To live outside the law, you must be honest.” Like most 19th century political philosophy movements, Anarchism was a way of contradicting and confronting industrialism and has been eclipse by history. To confront globalism with the same social vigor is like putting a rock in a river and expecting the water to stop. It just flows elsewhere.

Rock throwing Black Guard types are petty criminals, nothing more.

Black Bloc really likes the idea of being anarchists, but most of them don’t understand the philosophy. There are some adult anarchists still around—a group of them play soccer against a local socialist team, or did some years ago.
