How many Americans are anarchists?

I don't know exactly how many Americans are proclaimed anarchists, but I'd say close to 20 or 30 percent (including high school students who are probably just being a little rebellious). We know that about half of non-anarchist Americans are republicans and the other half democrat, (leaving a small amount of room for minority parties). If i had to make a pie graph I'd probably use this data; republican-40% democrat-30% minority party-10% anarchist/socialist/libertarian-20%
