All anarchists adopt a leftist ideology and aim for the total elimination of state and the collapse of order.

Some anarchists do not regard local level administrations such as villages, communes, syndicates as obstructive structures.

All of the anarchists advocate that government is an obstacle that hinders human flourishing and progress.

Leftist anarchists claim that the ruling class uses the state as a tool to dominate and restrict the progress of the governed people.
