ANARCHISM (from the Gr. an and archos, contrary to authority), the name given to a principle or theory of life and conduct under which society is conceived without government - harmony in such a society being obtained, not by submission to law, or by obedience to any authority, but by free agreements concluded between the various groups, territorial and professional, freely constituted for the sake of production and consumption, as also for the satisfaction of the infinite variety of needs and aspirations of a civilized being.
No, I can see where you might think it would, since Anarchy is constant change which in theory would bring a Tao-like equilibrium, but Anarchy has more to do with government than anything, and Buddhism is more about each sentient being learning to treat others with compassion and kindness.

No. Not at all. Compassion, for a Buddhist, springs from a fundamental selflessness. Compassion for humanity as a whole is what inspires the Buddhist towards activism; however, most, if not all, political groups tend to go against the Eightfold Path that steers Buddhist thought and action. Thus, anarchism, lacking a rigid ideological structure and dogmas, is seen as easily applicable for Buddhists

Well, i disagree with that....The main teaching in Buddhism is Universal love and Compassion, not propagating any Anarchism out of any political reasons. If it really as what you have think, by now HHDL (political leader of Tibet) have get back his country much early already...
Why make you think it does? If it make you think because of just simply hearsay, I would advise you to have more solid evidence before you think it does, if you have any solid evidence, you may wish to show it to us, and i would ready to discuss and debate with you.
Edit: Well say, Buddy. I'm study and practice Mahayana Buddhism for years now, it need not mention that I'm a TRUE BUDDHIST.

How did you come to that conclusion? If the Chinese government backed off Tibet, I'm quite sure the Dalai Lama will come out of exile and rule the government of Tibet. If you insist on your view, give me your reasons, and I'll be ready to debate.

If you are comparing Buddhism with Confucianism, then I guess it kind of does, but religion and social/political matters should not mix.

Are you talking about the religion that has a despotic ruler called the Dalai Lama?
Your assertion without an argument in support of it is simply boring. Try to spice it up next time, please.

Why would you think it does?
It's a peace/harmony based religion.
