Anarchism

As per the title. I have been a long time supporter of Anarchism, but mostly following my own paths and reading random topics. One thing I find a lot, is that peoples opinions vary massively on their opinions of Anarchism and what it should entail (I am aware of the different types of Anarchism).

One thing I have noticed a lot over the years, is that, not only do many people not understand what Anarchism is, most seem to think it means Chaos, revolting against everything and destruction of many things.

This imho stems from the 70's Punk movement. That's where many people first heard the word, and it is what they associate the movement with.

Did the 70's (+ 80's to a lesser extent) Punk movement damage people's understanding or opinion of Anarchism in your opinion, and if so, how badly damaged is it?

In my opinion it did, and I guess I am wondering how it would be possible to reverse or remove that opinion of so many. Social Media not very effective as a tool for that sort of thing. Or at least doesn't seem to be anyway.
