Reply #31: I'm objecting to the use of "Anarchism/Anarchist" as pejorative.

I have yet to hear tea-baggers refer to themselves as "anarchists" or express a belief in anarchism. They do, however, call themselves "Patriots" and are very fond of flags and the trappings of the state. What they are seeking is far, very far, from what Anarchists seek...namely a curb on the power of the few, whether from government, corporations, or the school yard bully.

The tea-baggers, and their "Libertarian" brothers are much more akin to fascists who seek power for the few and the triumph of the corporate state. Which is exactly what the likes of Gandhi, Bakunin, Emma Goldman, etc fought.
