Hi Tom, I expect you were joking about the anarchy bit, but just in case, here's a link to the wikipedia article about anarchism,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism

and an article about the black bloc,

and a quote from Moore about V, courtesy Heidi MacDonald:

"...the central question is, is this guy right? Or is he mad? What do you, the reader, think about this? Which struck me as a properly anarchist solution. I didn't want to tell people what to think, I just wanted to tell people to think, and consider some of these admittedly extreme little elements, which nevertheless do recur fairly regularly throughout human history."

Lots of anarchists advocate collective action and they seem to have very few problems getting organized, as the article you link to makes clear. The Wobblies, Emma Goldman, Mother Jones, Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Edward Abbey, etc. Anarchists.
