Anarchists are just people who support organizing society on voluntary collective lines. They aren't trying to create chaos for chaos' sakes. They're mainly nonviolent radical idealists and good people.

The bloc are mainly nihilists if they're anything at all, and they've often caused violence by the state against the people they claim to be defending(which is why the bloc isn't very welcome in most antiracist events).
