Anarchists are tri-partisan.
"In the United States three Presidents were killed by individual acts. Lincoln was shot in 1865, by John Wilkes Booth, who was a Southern Democrat; Garfield, in 1881, by Charles Jules Guiteau, a Republican; and McKinley, in 1901, by Leon Czolgosz. Out of the three only one was an Anarchist." -- Berkman, _Now and After: The ABC of Communist Anarchism_
Deep deep in their souls, many managers and politicians know what anarchism truly means. I spoke with a CEO a while ago, who was telling me about building a fairly participatory workplace. BUT, he said it couldn't really be democratic. "Because that would be... anarchy." And that ended the whole point right there. Nothing more needed to be said, because nothing is so obviously bad as anarchy.
I thought that was just an entertaining way of expressing himself. But as he used the word "anarchy" more and more to mean "A Bad Thing," I realized it was more fundamental than a simple misconception of what anarchy meant. It was clear that anarchy was his nightmare, as a manager. His role was to program people. He openly loved scheduling them, in essence telling them what to do. Even though he was totally mystified about what his highly skilled subordinates did. Anarchy is the rejection of that role, and by extension, his pleasures.
