Revenge please take the time to read first then post. Anarchist is a term created in the 1860s to describe a militant socialist party. It has nothing to do with the polical philosophy.

Then you do not understand the political philosophy you find great. Compare how similar it is to communist and socialist thought. And yes anarchists do advocate no goverment of any kind. How can you call yourself an anarchist and not understand what you are in? And anarchism is communistic and socialist. It has taken ideas from both.

It is neither. Besides I said I was a left leaning libertarian with some thoughts in common wih anarchism. As a pragmatist the concept of being ruled by social contracts (as posited by anarchism) can only be enforced by a sovereign power. Thus the creation of the limited government of libertarians. What that government is composed of is not of concern only that it is sufficiently throttled to preserve the social contracts created under anarchism.

Socialism and communism are centered around the concept of combined oppression for the betterment of the group. Anarchism is fundamentally different by saying ANY oppression is wrong, since there are fundamental freedoms that should not be impinged on. Thus interactions have to be entered into willfully in order to be valid. Harm to another person through any act is still wrong.
