Anarchism is an umbrella term for a bunch of views that advocate the reduction or elimination of hierarchic power. Since the 19th century, after anarchism began to take form as a social movement, news, propaganda, and fiction have vilified anarchists as maniacs who just want nothing but chaos, destruction, and anarchy. Anarchists often fill the role of Terrorists Without a Cause. Often depicted with excess facial hair, or wearing a mask. Traditionally equipped with a Cartoon Bomb, described by one stock image-hosting site as an "old-fashioned anarchist-style round bomb with burning fuse."

  • Anarchism is an umbrella term for a bunch of views that advocate the reduction or elimination of hierarchic power. Since the 19th century, after anarchism began to take form as a social movement, news, propaganda, and fiction have vilified anarchists as maniacs who just want nothing but chaos, destruction, and anarchy. Anarchists often fill the role of Terrorists Without a Cause. The "bomb-throwing" image of the anarchist was locked into the mindset of the public after the 1886 Haymarket Square riot in Chicago, where eight anarchists went on trial for a bomb that was thrown at a rally (not to say that these eight anarchists threw it, as some weren't even at the rally and were rather targeted for being influential anarchist figures in Chicago). Most people had probably never paid much attention to one of the 19th century's many radical social movements before, but the sensationalized spread of the incident left a negative impression in media for a long time. Often depicted with excess facial hair, or wearing a mask. Traditionally equipped with a Cartoon Bomb, described by one stock image-hosting site as an "old-fashioned anarchist-style round bomb with burning fuse." Subtrope of Strawman Political. Compare Mad Bomber, Dirty Communists, Ludd Was Right. See also Anarchy Is Chaos for an aversion. Examples of Bomb-Throwing Anarchists include:
