14. Just for clarification so everyone knows what an anarchist is

The central tenet of anarchism is believing there should no central Government period. A true anarchist would not engage in voting nor would they encourage others too. Anarchist would not want to overthrow the Government just to replace it with a new one, because they don't think any central Government should exist at all in the first place. I think a lot don't know this and are improperly labeling groups as anarchist.

Just, because someone identifies with Antifa that does not make them anarchist. Most of the anti-fascist in world war 2 certainly were not anarchist either.
