They are in favor of anarchy which would be a system where might makes right so they should have no problem with it.
Oh I almost forgot, they are actually in favor of the version of anarchy where they get to break shit while talking on their Iphones, sipping a Starbucks coffee and walking down a nice paved street unmolested. It's the Caffeine Free Diet Coke of anarchy.

Why am I not surprised???
Yesterday at Chicago’s Union Park for the May Day march, I found group of protesters from the Asociación de Vendedores Ambulantes (Street Vendors Association) holding signs from the Chicago Community and Workers’ Rights.
I asked one protester what her sign meant, and she said, “I don’t know.” She told me she didn’t speak English, but there was another girl (who I have seen around many Chicago protests) there who spoke Spanish, so I asked her to ask the woman in Spanish what her sign meant. Sadly the woman holding the sign still did not have an answer. After questioning another protester who also did not know why she was there, I asked if they were being paid to be at the protest. It was then that the translator told me “you don’t need to do that,” and a man came over to explain the different signs and shirts of the protesters.
I proceeded to ask all the members of this group if any of them knew what there signs said and why they were there and not one of them could answer the questions, even when language wasn’t a barrier.

Not surprised, that's exactly what they are, anarchists. They have no solutions, only complaints."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin
