Classical anarchism isn't really, it is merely severely (and rightfully so)
distainful of giving corporations greater legal powers and protections than
individuals, and the ability to only pay tax on their profits when the
laborer pays income tax on their gross earnings (the 'individual deductions'
are a joke). The current anarchist movement has absorbed many former
socialists and communists, mostly through its strategy of organizing through
bookstores and reading rooms owned and operated by IWW cooperatives. (IWW is
Industrial Workers of the World, also known as the 'Wobblies', a communist
oriented union of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.) They deny fault
for the failings of communism and socialism, claiming that all prior
regeimes were actually fascist state capitalist tyrannies, yet they refuse
to acknowledge the fact that their program is little different than those of
Stalin and Hitler.
