It's hard to lump all people in one single category - Personally I'll take a lefty anarchist anyday - I absolutely hate libertarian anarchists who advocate the free market as some sort of god - Freedom from authority, freedom from oppression, except from corporate dictatorship and wage slavery.
My experience with social networks and internet communities is that you can find all sorts of crazy people and it doesn't really represent everyone - Revleft is a website for communists, socialists, marxists, etc, but a lot of people there are batshit insane and even devout lefties have pointed so. r/libertarianism is another example of batshit crazy libertarians, and even r/atheism is really not a good sample of atheists.
Personally, I see the State as a useful tool that should be used - The state isn't just the government and its institutions, it's us (the people), the territory, the common culture, etc - It's an immaterial concept that goes far beyond those in power (the establishment). I live in a capitalist society and take advantage of it, but I don't discard the chance of creating a better one, at the very least because eventually we'll run out of resources really fast at this rate.
What annoys me about right-libertarian anarchists is that they are very quick to discard all regulation as oppressive but when it comes to their job it's just an "agreement" between "private enterprises".

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
