Your question shows why this is so hard to grok for most people. Imagine, if in America, anyone could stand up and propose an action. For example, they might say, "We're going to build this road from pointA to pointB. Who's in?" and then all the people gather together their resources (time, money, etc) and then go build it if they get enough people. This is basically how anonymous works. In all reality, Anonymous could be any group of people that collect enough resources to take a particular action.
