It’s barely even a Batman movie, it’s just another Tim Burton movie. That guy has milked the same shtick for decades.

And that, right there, is an example of the paradox of tolerance of intolerance.
Anarchism isn’t zero organization. It’s organization for legitimate and accountable purposes.
he was wrong about it being necessary to destroy capitalism before this happened
I thought it was more that (using modern terminology) he viewed socialism as an emergent phenomenon that would arise due to the unresolved contradictions within capitalism. So socialism doesn’t require the destruction of capitalism in order to start, it’s more that once it emerges, it’ll supersede capitalism. The Leninist approach of destroying the old order, then building the new one at gunpoint didn’t work all that well (to vastly understate), leading to a long period of totalitarian state capitalism, where workers had no control over the means of production (which is the main attribute Marx ascribes to socialism) and degeneration into nationalism, imperialist nostalgia and cronyism.
But so far, along with failed revolutions hijacked by totalitarians, the main thing we’ve seen is that spontaneous emergence of working, non-coercive socialist organizations such as co-operatives has been met with strong and sometimes murderous opposition from the incumbent capitalists.
People have a natural taxonomic instinct, to identify animals, plants and other humans. Manufacturers of consumer goods manipulate that instinct through branding and design language, to cause you to remember and distinguish their otherwise functionally identical products. It’s a form of spamming.
