Q: But I thought Anarchists were for chaos?

A: The association of Anarchism with chaos is a common misconception originating from negative propaganda launched against the thriving Anarchist movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The typical view of the bomb throwing Anarchist remains one of the greatest crimes in intellectual thought to this day.

In fact, it was the first self-proclaimed Anarchist, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, who said "anarchy is order," in his Confessions of a Revolutionary - inspiring the famous Circle-A symbol.
