Interesting idea. I've heard that some anarchist can be violent but the dozens of anarchist I know are all some of the least violent people I have ever met. Of course, they are anarcho-capitalist (people who don't believe in the initiation of force).

One of the anarchists I know has a web comic, Anarchy in Your Head. He sometimes uses it to encourage people to not vote. I agree with him about that because the turn out for elections is sometimes below 10% and people still don't seem to question the results.

The Anarchy in Your Head guy even wrote an article,

If You Vote, You Can’t Complain
October 14th, 2008

We’re all familiar with the expression “If you don’t vote, you can’t complain.” I take issue with that. It’s 1984 double-speak to me. We, the peasants, are presented with this extremely infinitesimal chance to influence the choice from an extremely small selection of masters, the choices having essentially already been picked by the elite. We then play the game and we are permitted to complain about the results knowing full well the rules and the stakes beforehand. Excuse me? That sounds like very poor sportsmanship.

Are you an anarchist? Maybe you are not the anarcho-capitalist type I'm most familiar with.
