Why do anarchist movements have leaders?

Do they have leaders?

I have a friend who once said that he supported anarchism on condition that he be the Anarch. In any case, anarchism only seeks to eliminate the state. It does not necessarily eliminate other forms of authority. For example, anarcho-capitalists like Murray Rothbard think that insurance companies can do the job of protecting people from crime and volunteer militias from foreign invasions (of course, if there would be no states at all the latter would be irrelevant).

They all hate the idea of leaders, but some lead in hatred of leaders. (as in some are more equal than others)

The same reason any other movements have leaders.

That’s the shortsightedness of Marx, whose end goal is a are less, classless society. In order to achieve that, temporary leaders will be needed to lead overthrow the ones on top. However, human nature shows that man likes power.

He’s one who should’ve kept his thoughts to himself. Gave Hitler more material to use against Jews.

Or the Hilltop Youth?

1, actually in The Communist Manifesto Marx also predicted that the state will wither away. Rambam, at the end of Mishna Torah says that about the time of Mashiach

ובאותו הזמן לא יהיה שם לא רעב ולא מלחמה ולא קנאה ותחרות שהטובה תהיה מושפעת הרבה וכל המעדנים מצויין כעפר ולא יהיה עסק כל העולם אלא לדעת את ה’ בלבד ולפיכך יהיו ישראל חכמים גדולים ויודעים דברים הסתומים וישיגו דעת בוראם כפי כח האדם שנאמר כי מלאה הארץ דעה את ה’ כמים לים מכסים

Thus it would seem that there will be no need for states except perhaps as cultural groupings. However, until that time there will need to be states. How extensive depends on the moral level of the world and individual nations as the Netziv says ( He’emek Devar on Devarim 17:14):

It, while some of the Hilltop Youth are indeed anarchists (and, in fact, they are dropouts from the religious educational system) some allegedly want to overthrow the government and substitute a “Torah” kingdom (although so far as I know they have not decided which of them will be the King).
