What did he do outside his philosophy?He viewed Korra as an agent of organized world governments (which, to be fair, she was), and knew that his goal of true anarchy would be impossible with her around. He either had to kill her or convert her.

there‘s more to anarchist philosophy than "kill ruler -> anarchy". an actual anarchist collective would try to build class consciousness among the working class before making an attempt on the monarchs life.

if you have 20 mins i can recommed this video. it‘s a more in depth analysis than i could ever write down.

IIRC, I don't think he's a traditional anarchist. I seem to remember he was more about survival of the fittest than anything else.

He’s essentially an anarchoprimitivist, a-la Ted Kaczynski (though what counts as pre-technology is a bit different in Avatar world)
