And I will repeat what I said to Maria and others. What you describe is not being an anarchist but being left wing. You correctly reference one of Chomsky's statements about women's rights movements, but I point out he said it was "anarchistic" meaning similar rather than anarchist as in the same These are not mere semantics, as Chomsky knows. As I stated in the original article, the difference lies in whether one agrees with the basic principle of authority (especially ethical authority) and maintaining the rule of law and ethics in the face of political and social reform. Anarchists don't agree with that.

What you quote about anarchists' rejection of authority is from their own writings. They seek to end authority.
