I'm not sure I'm really an 'anarchist'. Those types of political tags can be so misleading and confining. Just skimming through this thread, nearly everyone seems to have a different idea as to what constitutes "anarchism" and what doesn't. The one thing I can say is that I'm certainly an anti-capitalist. It's strange that so many people assume that, under 'socialism'/'anarchism', we'd all just rape and pillage one another, completely ignoring that, under 'socialism' (to be clear, 'socialism' in the Noam Chomsky sense, not the Joseph Stalin sense), the root cause of much of the crime and violence in the world (poverty and its psychological effects) would be almost entirely eliminated.
