Anarchy does not mean "no rules." Anarchy means "no rulers." Anarchy is the absence of oppressive rule by a central authority. It is the active noun of the word "anarchism." Anarchy is self-rule, self-reliance and mutual aid. Anarchy is Democracy taken serious.
"Anarchy" is constantly misused in the popular press as a synonym for "chaos."
Monkeywrench as a verb was first used by Edward Abbey in "The Monkey Wrench Gang," a novel of environmental protest against illegal corporate destruction. It derives from the act of "thrusting a monkeywrench into the bowels of the machine," compared to the sabot in "sabotage." Monkeywrenching has become the banner of the radical environmental movement.
