Rachel said it best. :)

We attract a lot of anarchists or anarchist-interested, and also some
libertarians and libertarian-interested, because they like the
non-hierarchical structure and that we don't have big lists of rules, but
mainly we attract a lot of hackers and technology folks of all political
leanings, and everything people are blend in to make Noisebridge what it
is. People like to throw around the word "anarchism" in Noisebridge either
because they are self-described anarchists or they are saying it kind of
jokingly because of how non-organized we are & that is what they think
anarchy is [chaos], whether that's correct or not.

I am surprised you thought it was an anarchist organization, as in that is
Noisebridge's goal! But maybe not too surprised.
