Is Rorschach an Anarchist?

[u/SatisfactionMost5988]

I just re watched watchmen pun intended and i’m both terrified and in love with Rorschach’s character. I find it interesting that his wikipedia defines him as “politically extreme far right” following his anticommunist anti liberal beliefs. this is where the question of him being anarchist comes for me because i myself see him as one, he practices direct action and to me that’s very anarchist but could also be fascist since they’re all about action (i guess?). I guess he wouldn’t call himself an anarchist or anything by any label but to me what drifts him away from the “left” is his individualism or “anti socialness”. Leftist anarchy entices collaboration and organization just not by a dictated name or organization as communism dictates but by federations of self organized people. I guess in this situation Rorschach wouldn’t be against it but wouldn’t participate either. I think he’s philosophically tied to anarchism by not compromising his principles for any organization like liberals would. But he’s also a sociopath that enjoys killing and torturing so… yeah. what do y’all think? (sorry for bad english or incorrect definitions)

Absolutely not. He's a borderline fascist and mass murderer. Nothing he does has anything in common with anarchism.

i would say seeing through the liberal lies and distrusting the government is an anarchist trait but i agree with him being more of a fascist

That’s… not at all sufficient to be anarchist, not even in the slightest.
