1. Well, yeah, the 1% really don't like to be bound by ANY laws, so I suppose they
are anarchists. And they definitely want a return to feudalism.

5. Not so
Those at the top of the pyramid bound others by the laws they legislate. They are not anarchists, they are tyrants.

Anarchists don't build hierarchical power pyramids. They level them.

4. Free-market anarchism and anarcho-capitalism...

they are for real. Who knows if they were responsible for bringing down the WTC.

6. I do.
No doubt in my mind after researching and paying my dues in being shocked and awed.

7. Irony
A group of people callign for increased regulation and control over Wallstreet are called anarchists. What they really mean is leftists, but I suppose that just isn't a strong enough word anymore.
