"What you resist persists."
I think the trouble with anarchism is the focuses on what is bad. It is treated like an anti-ideology. Anti-government, anti-capitalism, anti-centralization, etc. A lot of anarchists can't agree on what is good, on how things should be run (hence the unfortunate hyphenated anarchisms).
The aims of anarchism are rarely formulated in constructive manner. Rather than focusing on the coercive institutions we wish to destroy we should focus on the free world we want to create. If that means forgetting the word "anarchy" then fine.
