- lainga 8y agoRadical anarchism could also cover an anarcho-capitalist with a Recreational McNuke (tm) as well, though.
- sandov 8y agoIMO, Anarchy definitions are not consistent enough to use the term univocally, definitions sometimes contradict each other. They are leftists, because they see capitalism (and hence private property) as oppression and want to abolish it (instead of the moderate leftists who just want to regulate it in 'favor' of poor people), that makes them radical leftists.
- dogma1138 8y agoMost people on the left want regulation to provide a universal safety net, if you want to regulate capitalism to favor poor people you are essentially for full on wealth redistribution which does put you on the radical side.
- LaGrange 8y agoNaw, it's fine. "Leftist," used as an insult, was invented by actual bolsheviks to insult left-coms, mostly anarchists. It's a term many of us wear with pride.
