{{quote|'''Evey:''' All this riot and uproar, V... is this Anarchy? Is this the Land of Do-As-You-Please?
'''V:''' [[Subverted Trope|No. This is only the land of take-what-you-want. Anarchy means 'without leaders', not 'without order'.]] With anarchy comes an age of ordnung, of true order, which is to say voluntary order... this age of ordnung will begin when the mad and incoherent cycle of verwirrung that these bulletins reveal has run its course... This is not anarchy, Evey. This is chaos.
|''[[V for Vendetta]]''}}
A virtually ubiquitous trope, both in fiction and [[Real Life]], is the misconception that anarchists have no beliefs, that [[Title Drop|anarchy is chaos.]] While anarchy and chaos are not mutually exclusive (chaos is anarchic, although it often devolves into warlordism, but anarchy is not necessarily chaotic) such an un-mindset is properly called [[Nietzsche Wannabe|nihilism, the belief in nothing]]. However, the actual definition of Anarchism is ''the belief that rulership should not exist'' (as indicated in its Greek roots, an- [no] -arkhos [ruler]). There is much division on the extent and nature of rulership, and what it means. Regardless of this division, ''in fiction'', Anarchists (of any stripe) are often accused of [[Chaotic Stupid|favoring a Hobbesian-style war of all against all]].
