Can somebody give me a crash course on Anarchism?

The problem is that there is no signle anarchist ideology. It is like saying, "Can somebody give me a crash course on political philosophies that accept the state?" And somebody just tells you why they are a monarchist, and another person tells you why they support totalitarian state-socialism with nobody telling you about various "democratic" systems. 

(...)

Basically, let's ask the question "Why don't you support government?" Every anarchist will give you a different answer to that question. 

And that's all fine. If you ask "Why do you believe in a god", Catholics, Protestants, Muslims, everyone might answer differently, but that doesn't affect the validity of their arguments, does it? Everyone can answer according to what *they* believe.

But still, thanks. I might go to reddit eventually...

The next issue then is that there are many more religious people in the world than there are anarchists. It is easy to go to a site like this and find somebody from each of the groups you mentioned. 

The best you'll get for anarchists is a handful who might or might not share the same views. 

I just want to make it clear that you won't get a "crash-course" via this method. You'll get at best an understanding of that particular anarchist's views. 

If you want though, you can ask me some questions about my particular pleads for a stateless society.
