'Extreme' Anarchism is merely a response to Fascism. See what is happening in Hong Kong. What Anarchists aspire to is a pluralistic Democracy.

Tao is the path to finding your equilibrium (balance). We are all riding bicycles endeavoring not to fall over.

A very powerful description of how the powerful subvert the true meaning of social reform can be read in the book 'Animal Farm' by George Orwell.

I think you should study history. Perhaps even start with Jane Goodall's observation of chimpanzees in the wild.
