Anarchy is extreme left wing.  It is the eventual (de-)evolution
on the socialism-communism spectrum... your society (d)evolves to the point
where it no longer needs government because everyone is doing what they are
"supposed to," without threat from a government, to keey the socialist /
communist society going.

Practicing Anarchist seem not to have the patience to wait for the
(de-)evolution to happen naturally, I will grant you that.

Riot, by definition, is a violent disturbance.  Unlike the 2020 narrative,
you don't have "peaceful" riots.  By your admission, "riots were widespread
across the US," which, by the definition of riot, means there was also
violence across the US.

In hindsight, wouldn't you say they should have?

On the Louisville news, they did a good job of showing some of the rioting
and destruction that happened downtown, but the only time they covered
arrests were when peaceful protesters (in the true sense) were arrested for
tresspassing after congregating on, and refusing to leave, private property.

Oh, yeah, and they also covered the arrest of an armed protester who
accidentally shot one of his fellow protesters.

To my knowledge, they never made any arrests when it came to the person(s)
who threatened to blow up buildings and cause other harm to state employees
in the Capitol City during 2020, that closed state government for two days.
