I don't think the anarchists are separate from the other social justice protestors. They are just an extreme element within the movement. They also serve to draw attention to the causes of the whole group. All the press who is reporting on the violence is careful to divide the "peaceful" protestors from the violent ones and explain the virtuous causes they are protesting for.
What is beyond dispute is that they all arrive at the same time and leave at the same time. Look at the tea party rallies that have occured all over the States in the last year or so. No anarchists were found to have attended any of them. If they just got off on group violence or shaking their fist at authority why wouldn't they have used those meetings as an vehicle? The answer I think is they aren't interested in limited government but, rather a far more socialist government and one without borders.
