Anarchists generally oppose what [[Noam Chomsky]] has termed "illegitimate authority": stopping a child from running into a busy street would be an act of legitimate authority. The government and other coercive entities are considered illegitimate.

Although Anarchism is considered in some instances to be right-wing, due to it effectively being the opposite of left-wing ideals such as totalitarian government and government expansion, it should be noted that there were several anarchists who were explicitly left-wing in their outlook, including Chomsky as noted above, as well as [[Jean-Paul Sartre]], [[Michel Foucault]], [[Bill Ayers]], as well as [[Sacco and Vanzetti]] and various people belonging to the [[New Left]]. In addition, [[Karl Marx]], when advocating for communism/socialism, iterated one of the endgoals as being a "stateless society", which meant he advocated for anarchism.

In fact, [[Pierre-Joseph Proudhon]], the French politician who first used the term "anarchist" in reference to himself, denounced capitalism by declaring "property is theft" and otherwise held several leftist views (including anti-Semitism).
