I think the ruling class have suppressed the greatest threat to their positions of power relentlessly, both by violent acts and by even making the term anarchy into a bad thing. I think the tide is now turning, however, with independent media and the internet, there are more anarchists now than ever, and thanks to all of the liberals in this thread making it very easy to counter all of their arguments while making me look pretty reasonable and comparatively civil, this very post has probably created more of us!
