's not a leftist movement because Anarchism is generally opposed to this thing called the state. I myself don't really call myself an "anarchist" mostly because I can't really walk the walk at this point in my life, but I do like a number of the theories. And Anarchism has a fairly broad spectrum beliefs ranging from a very individualist stance to a very collectivist one. I lean more to the latter on these issues mostly because I still think we as human beings are social creatures and any issues with people are probably more my own than someone imposing me.

Anarchism is in a nutshell opposed to hierarchy and the systems it creates. All of it. Social, economic, religion, gender, race, political, you name it. It also generally strives for a stateless society, no matter which adjective you ascribe to it. I can personally get down with that. Sure it's very idealistic, but it's kind of like "Shooting for the stars so at least you can hit the top of the trees."
