Right. They are in the extreme minority among anarchists, but they're the only ones the media ever tells you about. The vast majority of anarchists are non-violent individuals, because violence is the tool of authority, a means of imposing your will on another, and that is exactly the opposite of what anarchism stands for. If you're going to discredit ideologies that lead people to violence, you should start with the militarism and nationalism of your beloved Republicans.
