"I don't recall seeing anything in Tim's post categorizing Anarchists as 'Leftists', based in the definition, an Anarchist would be looking for the ultimate in minimal government.. none"
>From the wiki: Anarchism is generally defined as the political philosophy which holds the state to be undesirable, unnecessary, and harmful, or, alternatively, as opposing authority or hierarchical organization in the conduct of human relations. Proponents of anarchism, known as "anarchists", advocate stateless societies based on non-hierarchical voluntary associations. There are many types and traditions of anarchism, not all of which are mutually exclusive.[ Anarchist schools of thought can differ fundamentally, supporting anything from extreme individualism to complete collectivism. Strains of anarchism have been divided into the categories of social and individualist anarchism or similar dual classifications. Anarchism is often considered a radical left-wingideology, and much of anarchist economics and anarchist legal philosophy reflect anti-statist interpretations of communism,collectivism, syndicalism or participatory economics. However, anarchism has always included an individualist strain, egoist strain, and free market strain. Some individualist anarchists are also socialists or communists while some anarcho-communists are also individualists. It is wikipedia, so take it for what it's worth. "Isn't minimal government a conservative position ?" Yes. Minimal government, but not the absence of government. There should be enough government to provide a common defense, regulate trade between states, and such.
