No, I was pointing out that both a religious right and marxist government derive their authority from something other than an obligation to protect the liberty of the people. Such governments have a tendency to believe they are obligated to pursue "higher ideals" than freedom. An anarchist society doesn't have a government therefore such people cannot rise to power. I was merely stating that the infrastructure for such leviathans would not exist in such a society and thus it wouldn't have to deal with that problem.

Have you an example of the above?
