Crucially, an opposition to capitalism and landlordism, and a politics of class struggle, is integral to anarchism and syndicalism: the state is certainly a target of the anarchist critique, but views that hold that anarchists see the state as “responsible for all inequality and injustice,” or “as the root of all evil,” seriously distort the anarchist position, and purge it of its socialist content and origins. The notion of “anarcho-capitalism,” used by some writers, is a contradiction in terms.
