Classical liberals were not in favor of bigger govt & I do know people today who consider themselves left anarchists. I think most of them are in some way confused about the scalability & vulnerability of personal relationships that do not set hard boudaries for poperty ownership. Many seem to incorrectly have some sense that "sharing" is an ideal that needs to be prioritized among other things.

I think it’s just that the rhetoric seems that way, but I know a *lot* of right wing big government people who spout all the empty rhetoric of small government and blah blah but support the most absurd, huge govt programs, wars, & all the rest.
