| Dec 7, 2012 at 7:03 | comment | added | Sven Clement | @ZeroPiraeus of course I describe left-right based on a multi-party system, not by the standards of the U.S. ;) This is probably due to my European descent. We already saw "Anonymous" actions also against "the little guy" because they someone offered help and got rejected. I would not say that this is what most of Anonymous stand for. It is simply that every group of Anonymous acts more or less on their own and so deriving an ideology is not possible. | |

| Dec 6, 2012 at 23:39 | comment | added | user97 | I don't think this is right. Anonymous claims to be completely disorganised, yes - I'm not sure that should necessarily be taken at face value, though. And while anyone can claim to be Anonymous, not everyone does - which means it ought to be possible to survey the statements, actions etc. of the group in order to establish what it believes, or whether it believes anything. It does seem, at least, to have a core of anti-authoritarianism ... I'd be surprised, for example, to hear that Anonymous is targetting strikers at Wal-mart rather than their employers. | |
