It is amusing. The left uses “anarchists”. If you ever go to “anarchist” sites and actually read and understand their philosophy, they are collectivist like everyone else on the left. They just happen to have different perversions and aberrant behaviors that they prefer.

It really is not hard to find some self-described “anarchist” talking about how a global government is needed to address global warming.

A true anarchist, when properly placed on the political spectrum, would be to the right of most libertarians. Most libertarians you run into will want as small a government as possible, but still want some government to protect individuals’ property rights. Most acknowledge that you can’t have a functioning economy if you have to spend all your time guarding your stuff from roaming looters.

It is a bit ironic that this nut-job also complained about people being illiterate the meaning of words being lost.

If you listen to "anarchists", what they are against is government protection for private property. They want to loot without opposition, which makes them a more-pure version of the Communist.
