The new anarchist

Published March 28, 2011 4:00am ET



If you’re like me, when you hear the term “anarchist” the first thing that comes to mind is the 19th century guy holding the bomb that looks like a bowling ball with a candle on top, the kind cartoons depict. These guys, in theory, stood for demolition of all government so that people could build a new society of direct simple democracy and with minimal to no government.

That’s not what today’s “anarchists” are like.
