Strange that most people who class themselves as anarchists are put in leftwing brackets fighting against right wing control. A total reversal of how you paint this right wing, left wing divide.
the problem with pure anarchy is there is NO rules or system of order; ergo the strong can ( and historically have conquered the weak.
capitalism in itself is neither left or right; it is simply how economies work. Goods are exchanged for services, etc. Specialization arises, including financing. wealth brings power.
in anarchy, the power of this wealth can also be used to subjugate others. In any system that doesn't establish and maintain boundaries, the use of this economic power can be used to crush others; ie. the dangers of monopoly
I had decided earlier against including a discussion of corporatism as I wanted to keep a complictaed post from getting more so.
What happens when economic power is used to control other's actions?
When a economic power takes control in an anarchy, that system is no longer an anarchy. When that power takes control in other systems, it slides the definition towards the left.
There is not any significant difference between crony capitalism and syndicated socialism and corporatism
In the US, we could be considered as suffering from corporatism these days (my gripe isn't about a singular New World Order, but rather an alliance between leftists and globalists)
Finally, control of wealth doesnt necessarily mean that those entities control others; it'ss when they damnd that you buy their product under government control it becomes a problem (car insurance or obamacare) or restrict your life outside the workplace that power becomes an issue.
True far right politics is pure anarchy - no State whatsoever, no group meetings, no neighborhood watches

No, that was the point of the article.
Defining a continuum from Left as absolute State control to Right as no State at all.
Doesn't mean I'm an anarchist, but putting economic control on capitalists requires State action.
But is right wing about no control or rather hidden wealth control.
good question

Exactly! This is why I think the labels don't actually mean anything. I have never once seen anarchy associated to the right, it's always the left.
