"I worked out an anarchistic theory that all government is evil, that the punishment always does more harm than the crime and the people can be trusted to behave decently if you will only let them alone."

Anarchism and Other Essays
by Emma Goldman (1910)
Why do I get the feeling you quickly googled George Orwell, found that quote then made the assumption based on that quote he was an anarchist because he called his theory anarchistic then quickly used google to find someone against anarchism?
He wasn't an anarchist by the way, he was a socialist.
Have you even read any book of his or are you just being an argumentative ass for the sake of it?
I was under the impression that he was both.
And then that person he linked to appears to be an anarcho-syndicalist, advocating for anarchy...
I to am rather confused by his post.
And that most definately appears to be a quotemine of Orwell! The book where it is from:
http://books.google.com.au/books?id=QFEs...ut&f=false
(click the 3rd search result on that page)
the next sentence after your quote:
"This of course was sentimental nonsense. I see now..."
