If you're an anarchist you're a leftist. Anarchism and (modern) conservatism are mutually exclusive philosophies.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Not sure I fully agree. Both the left and they right love The State, but for different reasons. I believe in the abolition of The State. I think both the left and the right disapprove of that.
As to anarchism being "conservative" anarchism is all about The Individual. That tends to be a conservative view point as the left believes in The Collective.
I find I typically agree with both the left and the right about 50% of the time. It is certainly an interesting place to live one's life.
The left doesn't love the state. Its a necessary evil in our current society. Dissolution of the state is a byproduct of achieving a post-capitalist society in classical Marxism. I think you're either using a wholly different definition of terms like left and right than I am, or that you're possibly confused about the naming conventions involved.
Did Emma Goldman love The State? Do Ayn Rand types love The State?
