    An internal FBI threat advisory obtained by The Intercept defines Anarchist Violent Extremists as individuals “who consider capitalism and centralized government to be unnecessary and oppressive,” and “oppose economic globalization; political, economic, and social hierarchies based on class, religion, race, gender, or private ownership of capital; and external forms of authority represented by centralized government, the military, and law enforcement.”

    Guess I’m on another list because I agree with all of that.

      Are they honestly okay with putting “Social hierarchies based on […] race or gender” in writing?

      I would read this as "Of the types of violent extremists, the ‘Anarchist’ type are those who… ". As a really dumb metaphor, if I have a pokedex, I don’t need to restate that they’re all Pokémon in there each time.

        Anarchy has stood for those things since its inception.

        Who taught you that it means violence and lawlessness? Maybe they have an agenda?

          I don’t know what you’re trying to say.

          I said the FBI definition of “violent anarchist extremists” doesn’t properly define violent, anarchist, or extremists.
