8. Ironic statement
Given that anarchists have fought harder and risked more in opposing international capitalism and the GOP than any other group in the country. You may not like anarchist beliefs or tactics, but running through a city while riot cops chase you so you can bust the window of a Starbucks takes extreme dedication and courage, the kind many liberals with their peaceful, law abiding, non-aggressive protest can only dream of. I'm not saying all anarchists do that. I'm just saying that most of the anarchists I know are far more dedicated to their cause than most liberals I know. It's not just a weekend thing for them.

There are also many forms of anarchism. There's anarchosocialism for example, which is extremely left wing.
