The definition of anarchy is "without leaders".
This implies a lack of coercion / forcing people to do anything.
Your use of violence is a coercion - you are effectively attempting to control (or destroy) the person or group your violence is directed towards. This is the antithesis of anarchism.
You are a violent thug. Not an anarchist.
A true anarchist believes that attempting to change the world is futile. Change yourself and the world will follow.
You just disengage from the systems that you disagree with and create your own reality.
You don't like banks? Stop using bank currency and barter / create your own system of exchange.
You don't like the oil industry? Stop using cars or make your own fuel (I personally make biodiesel in my shed).
You don't like government? Become a tax resistor / avoid government registration processes and census, try to exit the system.
Throwing petrol bombs is destructive, childish and only serves to increase government repression. They have a monopoly on violence anyway.
You have to get more Tai Chi - sidestep and gracefully redirect systemic repression rather than hit it face on. That way you create an attractive alternative to pull more people in to your anti-hierarchy way of life without having to coerce them through violence.
I am not an "arm-chair anarchist", but neither am I an "incarcerated anarchist" ;o)
