The mainstream Anarchy movement today, which I call "Anarchy(tm)",
defines the term as "stateless socialism". It positions itself as the REAL
Anarchy (revising history and glossing over some of the best ideas of early
Anarchists) and proclaiming Anarcho-Capitalists to be the frauds. A pretty
neat job of subversion and appropriation, but disgusting nonetheless.
[By the way, their argument against Anarcho-Capitalism is that "bosses"
and managers constitute a state.]
I recently went off on a rant against the psychological problems of
Anarchy(tm) and Anarchists(tm). I will forward it here for your
consideration.
By the way, I sometimes think of myself as an Anarchist without the
(tm).

Yes, it seemed like he was trying to say Anarchism = Libertarianism =
Socialism. It was obvious that he was using a different dictionary than any
that I have ever used.
