>> Most anarchists are anarcho-socialists.
Haha. What in the world is an “anarcho-socialist”? They want no government ... except the one that micro-manages the entire economy, seizes and redistrubutes all income, owns all capital, pays all wages, and employs everyone?
How stupid. What a nonsensical philosophy. Makes about as much sense as anarcho-fascism, free-market-communism, or anarcho-monarchism.

Anarchism has been around for a long time and has (long ago) clashed with the Marxists. Marxists like control, the Anarchists resisted control.
But the "anarchist" movement (like the Democrat Party)got hijacked by Marxists long ago. Anarchists today are nearly impossible to distinguish from Marxists -- the only difference I can see is a "Good Cop / Bad Cop" thing. The Marxists are the "good guys"(!) and they take a reasonable, pragmatic approach to social change. The Anarchists are the street fighters who will use violence to effect political change.
But we've seen this before -- the Nazi Party got elected to the German Reichstag. The SA fought communists in the streets. Two sides of the same coin. But one attempted to be more palatable to the public.
True anarchists oppose all government. Clearly those who support government handouts are not true anarchists. However, some distinctions are in order.
Anarcho-socialists oppose government, but favor worker ownership of the means of production. They have this in common with syndicalists.
Anarcho-capitalists oppose government, but favor free markets. See the writings of David Friedman for a good exposition of anarcho-capitalism.
It's not correct to lump all anarchists together. There are some significant differences within anarchism.
The part you're missing, Doc, is that it's all a LIE. They want to destroy the current order, so they can put their socio-commie new world order in it's place. And I wouldn't give a plugged nickel for the life of anyone who gets in their way if they gain any more power.
I wonder if the bald communist will be there.
iD’m sorry; but an “anarcho-socialist” sounds like something that you should hit with a rolled up newspaper before it runs under your couch.
