Can someone educate me on anarchism?

It is evident that the OP is extremely ignorant of anarchism as demonstrated by his/her blurring between distinctions between ACism and actual anarchism. One can suppose a thread with the title "Can someone educate me on anarchism?" would yield some responses about its forefathers, traditions and history and not only revisionist opinion dismissing everything else.

I actually agree here 100%. While I take exception to the idea that ACists aren't 'real' anarchists (it seems to me that a self-professed socialist like Tucker has quite a bit in common with contemporary ACists), I think that there is a lot of common ground between anarchists of all stripes, and that someone interested in anarchism (or even someone who is already an anarchist) shouldn't close themselves off from any subest of anarchism (esp. the subset that constitutes the 'founding fathers' of anarchism).
