What We Think

‘The Anarchists’ isn’t a total parade of woke clichés, but it does lean into anti-traditionalism and portrays conventional values as stifling. It’s more about ideology than forced representation, but still signals some classic Hollywood biases.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The series documents a real-life anarchist community, so its narrative has to follow actual events. However, some viewers may see selective editing and focus on certain personalities, perhaps highlighting chaos over any serious ideas, but identity politics is not the main driver here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The show frames anti-establishment themes, libertarianism, and ‘rejecting the system’ as noble or, at the very least, interesting. Family, religion, and traditional order are often presented as outmoded or implicitly challenged, though not aggressively mocked.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

While the film is about anarchists, it still portrays a spectrum, some more radical, others skeptical. However, traditional or non-woke alternatives largely serve as background ‘villains’ or obstacles, rarely as sincerely-debated viewpoints.
