Please forgive any inaccuracies in this post, I only know a little bit about the subject. From what I understand, there's a right-wing strand of anarchism - one that's so anti-government that they believe in no government at all. I believe Milton Friedman's son was a proponent of this. That, however, is not what I'm asking about. The older and more well-known strain of anarchism is left-leaning and, from what I can tell, its adherents are interested in the same kind of social justice issues that socialists and communists care about. As far as I know, this kind of anarchism doesn't quite believe in no government at all, but instead that there should be local communities voting on larger issues that can affect them. Is this correct? If so, I'm wondering how anarchists can address social justice issues without the larger infrastructure afforded by socialism and communism. Doesn't it take a large government to be able to distribute welfare, social security, housing, education, etc? I'm also interested in how anarchists would plan to implement such a system in a setting like, say, the constitutional republic found in the US. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Thanks guys, that did indeed help. I knew that there had to be more to it than just "no government, at all, ever." The idea that it tries to eliminate hierarchies makes more sense. I'll go read the FAQ, thanks for the link.
