You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means
Greek anarchists threw petrol bombs and clashed with police during a major protest Wednesday against fresh government austerity measures, with at least two people reported injured.
Anarchists would, I think, want more austerity measures.

Maybe journalists need a guide to political movements something similar to the guide to guns.
Or they could just try using google or the like to actually borrow a clue.

“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.”

Oh you mean people who are angry their welfare checks are being reduced because they rely solely on the government for their sustenance shouldn’t be called anarchists?

Apparently those Canadian anarchists are big, mad hockey fans

Anarchists today are just communist thugs that lack the guts to call themselves communists.

Most journalists majored in communications at one time or another, so you have to forgive them.
On the other hand we could look at it this way; The parasites have been looting the public through taxation and redistribution, and now that that gig is being threatened, they’re threatening in turn to eliminate the middle man and do the looting themselves, directly.
That could be a case for using the “A” word.

The smartest professor I ever met called communists “temporary anarchists.” Because, you know, they were in a big hurry to get rid of whatever we have now, but right after that they wanted something a whole lot worse. Among modern anarchists, I have never known this definition to fail.
