It is difficult to write of anarchism as one unified body of political thought, because it isn't. Some anarchists believe, as do utilitarians such as Bentham, that the greater good transcends the impact on an individual. It is therefore acceptable to kill a prince or an industrialist if it benefits the masses. Bentham, in his wilder moments, justified the use of torture for this very reason.
Not all anarchists hold such views. Not all Untalitarians hold such views on torture.
