The "burning cop cars and court houses" stuff is kind of the problem though. It's just mindless adventurism. It's not actually fighting the system, it's someone being the hero fighting the system. It's self-aggrandizing. It doesn't help any left wing causes really. It either hurts innocent civilians (and turns the public against your cause) or causes the state to crack down harder on your movement. Actual, organised action is what is needed, not adventurism. Though to their credit, I've seen plenty of anarchists in the west organise too though.
