FL Hayek in his book "The Road to Serfdom" comes to the simple conclusion that Communism evolves into Fascism once the idealistic Marxists realize the impossibility of their utopian dream.
The Fascists are at least a little more intellectually honest. They realize from the start that some folks are "a little more equal" than others....and proceed from there.

It should be pointed out that the 'utopian dream' of the Marxists is in fact, Anarchy. They envision a world without nations, religions, or money. Of course this will only happen after the 'withering away' of the 'proletarian dictatorship', once its destructive power is no longer needed.
So, no, anarchists are not right wing. They are left wing. Lawlessness is always left wing. Liberal is a synonym of licentious.

I have not read "The Road to Serfdom", but I think I should. Margaret Thatcher credits it with changing her thinking about economies, and Hayek's book eventually won out over Keynesian economics.
