Bomb-Throwing Anarchists | comment |
Anarchism is an umbrella term for a bunch of views that advocate the reduction or elimination (or even simply ignoring) of hierarchic power and its replacement by various forms of voluntary non-hierarchical cooperation. Historically, many anarchists encourage nonviolent means for this goal. Since the 19th century, after anarchism began to take form as a social movement, news, propaganda, and fiction have vilified anarchists as maniacs who simply want nothing but chaos, destruction, and anarchy for anarchy's sake. Anarchists often fill the role of Terrorists Without a Cause. This also tended to be the stereotypical image of communists for many Westerners until the "Orwellian intellectual infiltrating the government" image gained popularity starting in the 1940s. The "bomb-throwing" image of the anarchist developed in the last quarter of the 19th century. Left-wing terrorism first made a serious mark in Tsarist Russia during the reign of Emperor Alexander II (r. 1855-1881), who, ironically, was targeted because he was a liberal(ish) reformist rather than an arch-conservative. The "Great Reform" of the "Tsar Liberator"note Which included, among other things, the abolition of serfdom—hence the epithet "Liberator"—plus rationalization of the Russian judiciary and introduction of something resembling due process, introduction of the zemstva (partly-elected local government councils), educational reforms, and relaxation of censorship. The Tsar himself also indicated this was all just buildup to introduction of full constitutional semi-parliamentary monarchy in Russia, probably on the German and Austro-Hungarian model (in which the monarch wielded substantial but legally limited executive power). scared the pants off Russia's community of agrarian socialists (whose ideology was essentially anarchist, being heavily influenced by Mikhail Bakunin's anarcho-collectivism), who feared that the resultant improvements would sap support for their more radical agenda. In 1879, they established a loose organization called Narodnaya Volya or "People's Will", which started assassination attempts on various Tsarist officials, including several on the Tsar himself. They eventually succeeding in killing the Tsar in 1881 by literally throwing a bomb at him—well, two bombs.note The first bomb damaged the Emperor's bulletproof carriage, leaving him unharmed but forcing him to exit; the second, thrown at his feet, tore the lower half of his body to shreds. He was taken back to the Winter Palace, where he died of blood loss. This was highly publicized around the world (not that it did them much good domestically; the organization dissolved in 1884 and the Russian Left went into exile or hibernation for 20 years after the new Emperor Alexander III proved to be an unapologetic absolutist with no qualms about using the newly-minted Okhrana to squash dissent). The tactics of People's Will attracted the attention of anarchists in the West, especially after the spectacular assassination of Alexander II, and some Western anarchist groups started taking pages from their playbook. The key moment for Western anarchist terrorism was the 1886 Haymarket Square riot in Chicago, where eight anarchists went on trial for a bomb that was thrown at a rally (they were not actually charged with throwing it, as some weren't even at the rally; instead they were charged with inciting the action, being influential anarchist figures in Chicago). Most people in the West had probably never paid much attention to one of the 19th century's many radical social movements before, but the sensationalized spread of the incident left a negative impression in media for a long time. The assassination of several heads of state and government by anarchists during the following twenty years (most notably French President Marie François Sadi Carnot, Spanish Prime Minister Antonio Cánovas, Austrian Empress Elisabeth, Italian King Umberto I, and American President William McKinley) didn't help them either. During this period some anarchists advocated violent acts as "attentats" i.e. a means of drawing attention to their cause to spark a revolution by inspiring others, called "propaganda of the deed". Obviously, this backfired horribly, painting them as entirely depraved terrorists. Within the United States, the 1919 Anarchist Bombings proved to be such an influence on popular culture that it was a factor in the first Red Scare of 1920. Often depicted with excess facial hair, or wearing a mask. Traditionally equipped with a Cartoon Bomb, described by one stock image-hosting site as an "old-fashioned anarchist-style round bomb with burning fuse." Modern depictions favor dynamite sticksnote Actually sort of accurate; one of People's Will's much-copied innovations was using dynamite as a tool of assassination and Molotov Cocktails. Subtrope of Strawman Political. Compare Mad Bomber, Dirty Communists, Ludd Was Right. For the right-wing version, see Right-Wing Militia Fanatic. See also Anarchy Is Chaos for an aversion. Contrast with Revolutionaries Who Don't Do Anything. For actual bomb-throwing as a weapon of choice, see Throw Down the Bomblet. No Real Life Examples, Please! |

The Freedom faction from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. are a loose-knit clan of Stalkers who push for free access into the Zone and ways for humans to harmoniously integrate into it, seeing the region as a scientific marvel and a way to get a truly free life. Freedom's ideals often put them into conflict with the Ukrainian military (as Freedom wishes to end the Ukrainian government's monopoly on the Zone) and their main rivals Duty (a faction of regimented ex-soldiers who ultimately wish to find a way to destroy the Zone completely). Unlike Duty, Freedom has a very decentralized organization structure and a relaxed and informal attitude: there are no ranks, and members often casually refer to each other as "bro" and consume alcohol and marijuana. Despite this, Freedom are a deceptively competent fighting force. | |

The Cubby family in Dimension 20 are a very nice working-class halfling couple with their three children who happily help the main characters out whenever they can. They are also extremely anti-authoritarian, advocate violent revolution and carry around lit Molotovs just in case they need to kill come cops. Siobhan calls them Anarcho-Socialists. | |

Heroes of the New World; Honest Guy and the Gunpowder Gang from the Doyle Arc are a group of anti-monarchists inspired by Guy Fawkes who are looking for support from the Revolutionary Army in their effort to overthrow the government of the titular kingdom. When their plot is quickly foiled by the heroes, Sabo captures Guy and deconstructs the entire premise by pointing out their target is The Good King and not The Caligula, and even if they did succeed they have no legitimacy and no way to placate a now angry and scared populace (and that's not even including the pirates currently besieging Doyle or the World Government). Guy is too wrapped up in Revenge Before Reason and clearly had no plan beyond causing chaos and destruction, and the Revolutionary Army has no tolerance for those sorts of "movements", so Sabo leaves him for the police to arrest and instead shifts his focus to his new friends Izuku and Yamato, who defeated the plot almost single-handedly. | |

RWBY: Roman Torchwick is a subversion. When recruiting the White Fang for Cinder's plan and introducing them to the stolen Paladins, Roman portrays himself as an anarchist who shares a common enemy with the Faunus terrorists: the leaders of human society, the governments, the people pulling the strings. Although he does enjoy causing mayhem, he actually believes in having a functional city that can be exploited for personal gain. As he eventually tells Ruby, the only reason he's siding with the Big Bad is because he believes it's impossible to oppose her, and his survival instincts tell him to join what appears to be the winning side. | |

Rick and Morty: Rick Sanchez was one in his past with Bird Person and Squanchy, committing atrocities against the Galactic Government, and he continues to be an anti-authoritarian and anti-institutional maverick in the present, mocking school, family, marriage, society, and even the Council of Ricks. In "The Rickchurian Mortydate", his condescension and belittling of the POTUS, the man in charge of the country which he is a citizen of in the Multiverse, leads to a major crisis, with Rick being branded as a terrorist, and having his citizenship removed, and Rick coming close to killing the head of state which he probably would have gone ahead with had Morty not found a safe place for him and his family, forcing Rick to restore the status-quo. | |

Subverted in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse with Spider-Punk, a Composite Character of Spider-UK who acts like a stereotypical The Quincy Punk and fights a fascist regime in his home universe. Hobie is a very vocal Anarchist who often talks big about tearing down the system, but he understands the value of organization and even some hierarchy — given his involvement in the Spider-Society — and isn't one for just wanton destruction. His beliefs and actions instead line up more with real-life Anarchism. Like many Anarchists, he's also biding his time and internally sabotaging oppressive authorities from within rather than flashy public action, which is exactly what he does to the Spider-Society. | |

The Cowboy Bebop episode "Cowboy Funk" has the Teddy Bomber, a character existing only to be a bounty to be chased and fought over by Spike and Andy. He constantly tries to outline his manifesto, but the two egomaniac heroes ignore him in their scrap to prove superiority over the (practically identical) other. We discover that in the end, his bombing was an attempt to call attention to, and level, the vast inequalities in society. | |

As an anarchist himself, folk singer David Rovics does not subscribe to this view of anarchy, but the protagonists of at least two of his songs could be viewed this viewed. "The Face of Victory" ends with the disabled vet protagonists contemplating an Oklahoma City style bombing, and "Halliburton Boardroom Massacre" is about Exactly What It Says on the Tin with a Shell-Shocked Veteran massacring the board of the company he sees as responsible for the war for oil which caused his terminal illness. | |

The Planescape Dungeons & Dragons setting's Anarchist faction has a number of members who believe in "overthrow the status quo now," without worrying about what's going to replace it. On the other hand, their motives could be considered better than say, the Sinker fraction of the Doomguard, who worship entropy and destruction for its own sake, or the Xaositects, for whom "having a plan" isn't really an option. On the other hand, the Free League faction is more or less made up of non-bomb-throwing anarchists, being a loose association of individuals trying to get with their lives without the other factions telling them what to do. They even organize themselves in a non-hierarchical way. |

S.W.A.T. (2017): What the Emancipators truly are. They bomb targets along with kidnapping people to bring down what they deem a racist, corrupt capitalist system. | |

Season 2 of The New Adventures of Invader Zim introduces Nyx, an Irken Defective who hates what she sees as the corrupt system running the Irken Empire and wants to tear it down, usually by means of blowing stuff up and enabling riots. She's also clearly nuts, being an admitted fangirl of Zim and all the damage he causes. | |

The Followers of the Apocalypse from Fallout: New Vegas are an anarchist faction that averts this trope. Mistrusting organized governments, they provide technological and humanitarian aid equally to all and urge the player character against actions that would give a government full control over the Mojave Wasteland. However, certain overly-zealous members are not above extreme actions to get what they want, including assassinating an NCR trooper who found out that they were stealing water to grow crops. Played straight by Samuel Cooke of the Powder Gangers. All the Powder Gangers are escaped cons; he was in for, well, being one of these. He seems to have no real long-term plans except for making bombs to harass the NCR and joining the Great Khans (who also hate the NCR). He's actually the only member of the gang with this mentality, as the ones near the NCR Correctional Facility are just raiders, and one of his own henchmen wants to surrender before Cooke drags them all to their deaths. The Honest Hearts DLC introduces the "Fight the Power!" perk, which is represented by Vault Boy wearing a bandana and throwing a Molotov cocktail and gives you a damage bonus to members of the NCR, Caesar's Legion and the Brotherhood of Steel. |

Dark Kat from SWAT Kats fits this mold. He wanted to create a new city where "lawlessness was the law of the land" and believed he could achieve that by blowing things up in general. His first appearance actually saw him try to drop a nuke on Megakat City. | |

Dutch Van Der Linde of Red Dead Redemption is an outlaw who is motivated by a hatred for the American government and the civilization and industrialism that they bring to the dying frontier, though at that point most of his motivation is just to cause as much chaos as possible in an attempt to justify his existence. This trait is downplayed in the prequel, which shows how his ideals eventually eroded into madness. | |

Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker in The Dark Knight describes himself as an "agent of chaos" and talks about anarchy rather a lot - and does love Stuff Blowing Up - but it's pretty obvious he doesn't have any real politics apart from doing things For the Evulz. The Joker was more of an Illegalist, a type of French anarchism where crime is considered the only true expression of anarchy. Essentially For the Evulz is the Joker's political cause, as he thinks everyone should be like that. He seems to fashion himself as a sort of dark trickster figure, particularly in opposition to Batman as an upholder of law and ORDER (thus the Joker would aspire to unlawful and chaotic acts). | |

It is very possible to play like this in Watch_Dogs 2. Your character is a member of a group of hacktivists based on Anonymous whose goal is to disrupt and reveal the secrets of shady businesses and organizations to the public. While the game is centered around using Hollywood Hacking and stealth to get to your goals, there is absolutely nothing stopping you from simply gunning down everyone in your way and making extensive use of homemade IEDs. | |

Batman Beyond: Mad Stan basically wants to blow up society. It's eventually revealed that there's some method to his madness — he chooses his targets based on local news stories that really piss him off. He is a pretty literal example of this trope too since he does in fact throw bombs and his beliefs seems to align quite neatly with anarcho-primitivism, raging against both technology and big government, making him something like a louder, dumber version of the Unabomber. | |

Vampire: The Masquerade averted this in two ways: The Brujah clan, once known as a clan of passionate philosopher-kings, who tended more towards impulsive radicalism in modern nights. While the clan tends more towards the "throw a brick through a Starbucks window" school of anarchy, however, it does have its share of passionate intellectuals who prefer to argue the merits of anarchy rather than enforce it with their fists. The Anarchs, a general faction of vampires who believe the Camarilla are a bunch of outmoded feudal lords with their heads up their butts and the Sabbat are a band of psychopaths. They institute their own systems and fight to establish baronies free from Camarilla control, with political systems varying from baron to baron. It should be notable that by the mid-nineties in which the setting is set, the only Anarch holdings left in the world is the US West Coast, which is being invaded by the Sabbat from Mexico, the Camarilla from the east, and the Kuei-Jin coming in by boat from the west, which showcases just how successful the Anarchs are. Part of this lies in how Los Angeles, where the Second Anarch Revolt kicked off, was guided by the leader of the Revolt to remain a "true" Anarch state... meaning there is no central authority beyond a Revolutionary Council, and everything else is just whatever any gang can grab for themselves. However, by the time Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition rolls around and the metaplot moves forward to mid-The New '10s, the Anarchs have come back with a vengeance. A number of disasters, from mass defections to YouTube to the Inquisition kicking back into gear and a number of three-letter agencies starting to get a hint, have caused the Camarilla to endure some losses and the Sabbat to all but vanish. The Anarchs have filled a lot of that power vacuum. |

V from V for Vendetta is a self-described terrorist, who uses explosives to provoke reaction from the Norsefire government and to shake the people out of their complacency. When the government starts losing a grip on power, there is a chaos where people start looting and destroying, which Evey finds disturbing, but V describes as a necessary step towards a more directed rebellion. | |

The Invisibles: Deconstructed. King Mob is very good at, and very much enjoys, being a Bomb-Throwing Anarchist, but he recognizes that this method of spreading anarchy is very often counter-productive. He is also very aware of the innate hypocrisy in blowing up people because they don't share your ideals and values in order to create a world where everyone can live by their own ideals and values. | |

Batman villain Anarky is also a subversion. Sure, he's regularly put against Batman, but he's able to explain his motivations clearly and is often painted as more of an Anti-Hero who just happens to think violent means are okay against certain targets. He even had his own book for a few issues. As of late, however, in the last few issues of Robin, there seems to be a new guy behind the mask who hews closer to this trope, and the actual Anarky is stuck in a technopathic coma seeking revenge. The original author is apparently not pleased with this development. Unlike V, he was even a Technical Pacifist. | |

Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun provides a fully justified reason for anarchistic groups in the story, such as The Six Fingers, being chaotic, destructive, and overall evil. Demonkind is an Always Chaotic Evil race that the former Demon King took great pains to reshape into a more lawful neutral sort, and he set up numerous laws and rules upheld by a government to keep demons morally sounder. This means the only kind of demons who would see the hierarchy as suffocatingly restrictive and controlling would be those that want everybody to return to being chaotically destructive and murderously evil, so it's only natural that their methods to realize that goal would only ever involve chaotic destruction and mass murder, since nonviolence and peace are outright antithetical to their interests. | |

Jim Shannon from After the Revolution. Originally a more 'traditional' revolutionary, Jim claims to have become cynical by what he saw happen repeatedly during the Second American Civil War and now believes that any institutional power corrupts people into abuse and/or complacency. As such, Jim's only remaining belief is that all institutions need to be violently torn down on a regular basis, in order to provide a brief burst of freedom and creativity before the institutional rot sets in again and the cycle has to restart. Notably, none of the actual anarchists who inhabit Rolling Fuck agree with Jim's ideology at all. | |

Donn Throgg from Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura is a subversion. His M.O. is typical of the trope, but politically he is a fairly moderate union activist, who saw violence as the only way to stop the rampant abuse of orcs, half-orcs, and poor humans by Tarantian factory owners. If you can convince him to continue the struggle by peaceful means, Throgg eventually runs for President of Tarant. | |

The Law According to Lidia Poët: Jacopo turns out to have adopted anarchism, joining a group and then left after its leader advocated violent revolution. After another member turned over information on them to the police, two others killed her in revenge. | |

The Sherlock Holmes Stories of Edward D. Hoch: In "The Christmas Client", Professor Moriarty sets off a bomb at the Houses of Parliament on Boxing Day, knowing that the police will assume it is the work of anarchists and swarm the area: allowing his gang to pull of his real crime elsewhere without interference. | |

However, by the time Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition rolls around and the metaplot moves forward to mid-The New '10s, the Anarchs have come back with a vengeance. A number of disasters, from mass defections to YouTube to the Inquisition kicking back into gear and a number of three-letter agencies starting to get a hint, have caused the Camarilla to endure some losses and the Sabbat to all but vanish. The Anarchs have filled a lot of that power vacuum. | |

The Downzone Subverters from Syndicate (2012) are Uncivilized La Résistance who are obsessed with bringing down the syndicates. It's full Evil Versus Evil as they don't care for the civilians; in fact, the New York branch's leader gleefully anticipates the collateral damage. | |

In Suffragette the protagonists are technically women's rights activists, not anarchists. However, after they have blown up the (empty) manor of a member of parliament one of the men in power says something about considering this "level of anarchy" unacceptable. Though it's not as if the suffragists weren't beaten up by the police before that. | |

Timeless: When the main trio has to evacuate the Hindenburg before the bomb planted aboard goes off, Lucy and Rufus storm the cockpit and pretend to be members of the Anarchist Black Cross (which is a real anarchist collective that was active at the time, although its focus is on aiding prisoners rather than terrorism), demanding that the pilots land or else they will detonate the bomb. When the explosive goes off despite the heroes' efforts, the bombing is blamed on the anarchists afterward and the main trio are listed as the suspects. | |

Destroy the Going-up-and-down-a-bit-and-then-moving-along Gertrude!". Notably played by series co-writer Ben Elton, then known as a left-wing firebrand. | |

Looking Backward: Discussed by Dr. Leete and Julian, the latter saying the anarchists in the late 1800s were actually subsidized by the capitalists to scare people off socialism from its association with terrorist violence. This was a big issue at the time the book was written in 1888. A year prior to this, for instance, four anarchists were hanged over a conspiracy to murder police with a bomb in Chicago, though it's doubtful which (if any) actually did it (four others had also been convicted — one killed himself, the rest were pardoned). | |

Aversion: Ryan from The Nameless Mod looks like he's just a Terrorist Without A Cause at first, who happens to be fighting against the Big Bad of the game. But when you talk to him and learn that he's an anarchist, he explains his motives, he comes off as much more sympathetic, and it makes him into a different type of character. | |

7th Sea has an entire Secret Society of Bomb Throwing Anarchists with its own splatbook. While the Rilisciare's reasons for being anti-authoritarian (nobles in the setting have access to sorcery that is causing the barrier between the physical world and Hell to slowly weaken, and non-powered nobles have a history of betraying the Free Thinkers) are clearly stated, the society's history includes the point where they extended their enmity to include anyone with power, even mundane political power. Plus, all the good explosives abilities and equipment are in their splatbook (including the "Arson" and "Bomb-making" skills and a coat with hidden explosives in the buttons). | |

The Red Lotus from The Legend of Korra, who want to "restore balance" by tearing down society and destroying the world's leaders. Notably, while still violent, they seemed to actually understand the ideas of anarchy well enough to not come off as complete strawmen. Interesting enough, their leader shares the same voice actor as Mad Stan. | |

The Revolutionaries in Fallen London are frequently this, although it's noted at one point that they've largely moved on from Cartoon Bombs to dynamite. Most of them just want the Masters and their Bazaar to go home, their higher echelons are truly anarchic to horrifying degrees: They feel oppressed by the laws of nature and physics, and want to end them. And since these laws are enforced by starlight... In Sunless Sea, set in the same universe, Anarchists are one of the four factions you can raise the Supremacy of (the others being London, the Khanate, and the Dawn Machine). You can boost Supremacy: Anarchists by running supplies from Vienna to London, giving the Iron Republic the Memento Mori, or helping the Empire of Hands complete their zeppelin and devastate London with it. |

Goblin Anarchists in Golden Krone Hotel have sticks of dynamite and explode violently upon death. Hope you've got some bullets or offensive magic to take them out at a distance. And if you're not currently human, you can't use either of these things, so you have no choice but to attack them in melee and take the blast. | |

Played with by the Siberian Black Army of The New Order Last Days Of Europe. They are indeed intent on using violence to unify Russia, but so is every other warlord state from Vyatka to Magadan, with the Black Army only distinguished by its ideology. They've also graduated from throwing bombs to full-scale industrial warfare, and can even develop nuclear weapons. | |

The Jammers from Feng Shui definitely fit the trope, with a fondness for blowing up Feng Shui sites in order to carry out Battlechimp Potemkin's dream of a world without chi. In Feng Shui 2, they've changed their tune big-time after the detonation of the Chi Bomb, which accomplished their goal of wiping the totalitarian Buro regime off the map, but also wiped out 97% of the population and devastated the globe. In the Shadowfist card game, the Jammers are the only faction who can render the game Unintentionally Unwinnable by blowing up Feng Shui sites. |

"Tabloid" in Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is described as one almost word-for-word, but it is later downplayed when it turns out he was arrested for expressing dissenting views about the war and apparently throwing a single rock at an Osean embassy.*However, in-game dialogue shows that he has views that are eerily reminiscent of the terrorist group A World With No Boundaries, a terrorist organization from the Belkan War who very nearly caused The End of the World as We Know It in Strangereal, so its somewhat easier to imagine that he would be seen as a dangerous terrorist instead of someone who got a bit mouthy and hucked a rock at a politician. | |
