Terrorism doesn't really require violence, but I see what you are saying. But really, although the movie has many parts of Tyler explaining his views and goals for change, the audience is bombarded with the constant, and highly entertaining, images of Project Mayhem. It may make me sound pretentious, but I think most movie goers think what is happening on screen is what a film is about (and it sometimes is just what is happening on sreen), and don't really look at it enough to think that it's maybe about something more; which is why I think the film ends up appearing to focus on anarchy and terrorism and anti-corporate sentiments. I have friends who don't think fight club is that great and think it's just weird or just some crazy guy that hates his life - which really just makes me totally pissed off =P
