Niccolò Machiavello (1469-1527) was a figure of the Italian Renaissance. He was a capital figure in politics and in one of his books he wrote that "the end justifies the means" (which should be understood in context )though)
Unfortunately, many careless readers interpreted that any evil action can be justified if it is done for a good purpose. And the word "Machiavellian" is often used to describe a crafty, secret or tricky plan.

Anarchy for internet is an higher level of trolling done by people who are mentally more clever than an usual troll. If you come across any of them (you just have) laugh at everything they say. They usually make plans upon games like LittleBIGPlanet for the people they love. They are not anarchist, they only believe that none can lead them in the internet.
