While, in the wake of communism, many human rights activists espouse 
anarchism, I don't think there is a necessary connection between the two, anymore than 
there is a necessary connection between environmental activism and faschism.

Ontologically speaking, anarchism may be a primary value for some, but a 
secondary value for others. But I would tend to think of Feyerabend's 
epistemological anarchism as a function of the rational, rather than the psychological 
domain. If you are a Freudian, in the ego, not the superego.
