It's both a tragedy and a psyop that people believe left always means collectivism. Collectivism describes communism/socialism. Leftism means an opposition to hierarchy and class stratification; a desire for egalitarianism. Anarchists are people who agree with Communists on the problem (because they're leftist); but not the solution (because they're anti-authoritarian).
Political words are difficult because they change quickly and can mean different things to different people at the same time.
