i think i feel about anarchists how most people in the mainstream feel about atheists.
to wit, if the end goal is not, you know, anarchy, then why call the movement anarchism? of course, i understand anarchism to be an umbrella term for any number of ad-hoc movements whose adversary is an entrenched power structure ("the man"). some movements (socialist workers movements) are better organized than others (various college campus pro-intifada movements, queer greens for trancendental veganism, etc).
