Understanding Contemporary Anarchism

and its Implications for the United States Intelligence Community

Radical transparency and a re-conceptualizing of our communications offices can engender the credibility the intelligence community needs to perform its duties in the coming decades, and in light of the increasingly powerful anarchic ideology of growing parts of the American polity.

For each part of the contemporary anarchist’s narrative, there is an opportunity to undermine that message with audiences who sympathize with the movement’s grievances, but are unsure of how to bring resolution to them. In these instances, the goal is not to convince the audience to like the government, but to use other methods to change the system; rallying, voting, donating to advocacy groups, rather than leaking classified information, or seeing someone else leaking information as a legitimate action.
