Pick a few major targets of anarchist opposition: formal governmental domination, systemic capitalist exploitation, the intimate hierarchies of the patriarchal family, etc. If the archy opposed by anarchy covers all three, then it isn't going to leave much of the status quo untouched. Or come at it more directly from the historical precedents: Proudhon thought his approach entailed anti-absolutism, opposition to everything with any pretense of fixity—and everybody in the anarchist milieus thinks they're more radical than Proudhon. If we're looking around for disruptions that seem to be meaningful to a really radical opposition, it seems likely we'll find that anarchists need to be more diligent, not that the considerably less radical disruptions of fascists or ideologues attached to a utopian version of capitalism are somehow worth confusing or conflating with anarchist disruption.
