Historically and currently the anarchist movement has consisted over whelmingly of socialists. To-day for instance there are anarchist organisations of over 10,000 members that are also trade unions in Sweden and Spain. There are many other organisations with memberships in the hundreds in most countries world-wide. All of these organisations are explicitly anarchist, revolutionary and anti-capitalist. When we come to looking at North America however we find a curious thing. Since the mass expulsion and criminalisation of anarchists in the period during and after the first world war there has been no major anarchist movements in Canada or the US. This has created a curious situation where pro- capitalist utopians feel comfortable calling themselves anarchists. These people seem to be particularly dominant in the white, university educated middle class and as such have a voice far outweighing their support on electronic mailing lists. (Access to such facilities is dominated by this section of society although there are exceptions to this). They also commonly call themselves libertarians which again is strange because in the rest of the world this word is most commonly followed by the word communist.
