We had a hard time whittling it down, but now we at libcom.org are proud to present the top ten worst things ever done in the name of anarchism.
10 The Anarchist Cookbook
9 CRASS - not just terrible music, but terrible pacifist music
8 Primitivism
7 The Middlesex Declaration, from Beyond ESF
6 'Solidarity' actions where you don't tell the workers you're supposed to be doing it for first.
5 Class War Hooliganz / Toffbusters - one member of CW decides to tell the newspapers that their hooligan firm will batter any Nazis coming to England for Euro '96. Needless to say the group did not exist, and nothing happened to any fascists attending any of the games. "Toffbusters" was another fictional campaign supposedly against foxhunters.
4 Evasion - a book by CrimethInc. declaring "Unemployment, poverty, homelessness: if you're not having fun you're not doing it right" written by a man who wants most of the world to"die in the most horrible pain and suffering".
3 Pierre Joseph Proudhon – one of the founding fathers of anarchism, also a misogynist, anti-semitic twat.
2 A bunch of muppets bringing a soundsystem into a Wetherspoons after the Anarchist Bookfair and playing shite music and being aggressive to the staff, as an "action", until one Antifa comrade kicked it in.
And finally, last but not least:
1 Several leading Spanish anarchists joining the government during the Spanish Revolution
