I've been reading up about it. The most striking thing is the almost comically broad range of incompatible ideas that fall under the banner of "anarchism" these days -- ranging from the admirable to the absurd to the repugnant -- coupled with a widespread vagueness/indifference among young US anarchists themselves as to which of these they sympathize with. I'm the last person who insists on adopting catechisms or ideological branding, but this is unfortunate since it creates a sort of laissez-faire open door policy for any insane idea.

Agreed. Which is probably an important reason anarchism has become so popular with the yoot.
