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.
