And there you are using a second logical fallacy: begging the question.

It goes like this: “since I am defining the terms as me being correct, I am therefore correct. Thus the question is resolved in the premise.”

Your premise is incorrect because your definitions are too limited, as leftist/rightist and statist/anarchist are not the same line. You model is too simplistic to account for variations, such as absolute monarchy or theocracy (right-wing statist) or revolutionary anarchist (left-wing anti-statist).

Where did I say that?

That is your Opinion on the matter, nothing more. I've already addressed that issue, what else do you have?
