Are most anarchists also democrats and/or liberals?

Question

Just curious what info I might here by asking such a (apparently)loaded question.

FYI, neither a democrat or republican. I am a registered Libertarian party member.

Answer 1

Yes--they are in the same bed--it is an easy step from liberalism to anarchy.  Liberalism rails against the foundation of a society.  In a bad society this is good-but in the greatest nation in the history of the world-this is bad.

Answer 2

No, anarchist want no government whereas democrats want a big government.  

Answer 3

Kill me if I'm wrong....but dont the republicans usually want less government telling people what to do, taxing them and generally staying the heck away.

Answer 4

Anarchists, by definition, would not be Democrats, as they do not support any government, which would include political parties that only exist for the purpose of government. They may be liberals, as liberals put a high value on freedom. They may also be libertarians or hard core conservatives, as they are opposed to government controls.

Answer 5

look up the word anarchist.... they are anti-government, they are no party.

Answer 6

Most anarchists wouldn't affiliate themselves with a political party.

Answer 7

Most anarchists I've met are of the survivalist variety, and they have very conservative views.

Answer 8

No.

Anarchists believe that all government is bad and that there shouldn't be any.

Liberal Democrats believe that the government needs to help everyone.  They tend to support bigger government.

Conservative Republicans believe that the government should be small but is still necessary for defense of the country and regulation of foreign trade.

Each is different..

Answer 9

It does seem this is correct.

Answer 10

Apparently, didn't see them protesting at the DNC but they were everywhere protesting the RNC, including riots and violence.

Answer 11

Anarchist or not, you see more violence, lawlessness, name calling and hate practiced by liberals and democrats.

Answer 12

no. anarchists by definition oppose the government as a tool toward bettering humanity. therefore they would not be democrats. liberals and anarchists come from very very different ideologies. call an anarchist a liberal and they won't be happy.

Answer 13

Yes. They are in the same category as Code Pink and moveon.org.

Answer 14

No,,,,....Anarchy is too the extreme right of the political spectrum, and

Answer 15

No.

Anarchists are anti-government in general.  There is no place in their philosophy for either the Democratic or Republican party.

(It is the height of hypocrisy to accuse Democrats of wanting to constantly grow government, and then ascribe the anarchist protests to the Democrats.  Anarchists would want nothing to do with Democratic political platforms.  The don't want the government to control or run ANYTHING.)

Answer 16

If they are anarchists, by definition they do not belong to any political party

Answer 17

Anarchists support Ron Paul and that Barr fellow.

Answer 18

actually they are Neocons who think business should be the government!

"Anarchism is a political philosophy encompassing theories and attitudes which support the elimination of all compulsory government"

As this is the definition in a simple form, who is always talking about eliminating the government. I sure heard a lot of that from the Republicans for 4 days, however they have been saying that for 40 years!

It isn't the size of the government that is bothersome as much is now being farmed out to businesses for profit., it is the size of the ever increasing National debt that bothers me and no one in the history of the presidency, put together, spent as much in deficit as Bush!

Answer 19

Well, some are pragmatic enough to support the lesser of two evils, yes.

Answer 20

Good question.
