Anarchism Is A Major Domestic Threat To The Freedom Of The United States
I wanted to show how the anarchist movement has become powerful in the Democratic Party and has even infiltrated the Republican party of the United States. To do this I am using a paper with the title Anarchism from the Lucy Parsons Project.
You can see that government and corporations are targets of the anarchist movement but so are religious organizations as they are considered an institution that thwarts the progress of human development by attempting to push morals or ethics on them.
As you can see this report attributes many of the causes of the Democratic party as originating with originating with the anarchism movement.
At the core of anarchist theory and practice lies a historic tendency to be free of the conditions, institutions and social aberrations which thwart the progress of human development. Anarchists view the state, their corporate masters, and the myriad of oppressors which result from these institutions as not only unnecessary, but counter-productive to human freedom and aspirations. Anarchists believe that most of society's inequities, violence and conflict stem from unequal power relations between rulers and ruled. Wars, social violence, widespread racism, poverty and oppression are all primarily the results of arbitrary social relations designed to serve the interests of the rich and powerful and their authoritarian institutions. Anarchists seek to identify these power imbalances and oppression and challenge their legitimacy. If they fail to serve the interests of human freedom and aspirations they should be considered illigitimate and abolished.
You can see that government and corporations are targets of the anarchist movement but so are religious organizations as they are considered an institution that thwarts the progress of human development by attempting to push morals or ethics on them.
Anarchism today has begun to encompass a broader analysis of power and inequality, realizing the importance of equal struggles on behalf of class, race, gender, sexual preference and orientation, and every form of oppression that enslaves humanity and keeps people from being free. Anarchism is diverse, broad and demands social and cultural freedom in every sphere of life. Anarchists now, and have always, envision advancing a future world built on principles of freedom, direct democracy, mutual aid, solidarity and equality without rulers or masters.

Corporations are definitley targets. The "evil rich" are punished left and right for the crime of becoming successful via the American Dream. Its interesting how you refer to the Democratic Party as anarchists, rather than communists or socialists. But you have a very good point. Almost every policy they advocate, and every policy they abolish, is an attempt to overthrow what was originally established.
