Anarchism is NOT Chaos

God, I hate "SLC Punk". Mostly because the protagonists of the film don't know what Anarchists actually believe, making the whole message at the end where dude sells out and is all like "*beep* anarchy!" completely null and void. At the root of the problem is that the film's writer seems to think Anarchists advocate simple chaos. Rather than opposition to order, we Anarchists (at least the true, leftist kind - "Anarcho"-Capitalism is an oxymoron) oppose hierarchy. In fact, the society we advocate is a highly organized one (we'd argue that CAPITALISM is truly chaos).

It's obvious the writer of the film never read a WORD of Mikhail Bakunin, Emma Goldman, or any other classic Anarchist writers (hell, even Noam Chomsky would be better than nothing!). SLC Punk furthered the myth that "Anarchism = Chaos" in the minds of thousands of young punks. All it did is aid the American propaganda machine (no wonder most Americans don't know what Anarchism/Communism is) - Seriously, *beep* that movie haha
