    As has been shown in many threads, the two aren't linked variables. Extreme right wing can be pro-individual which again is approaching anarchy with an ever dwindling state.

    By giving the state another name, doesn't mean it has disappeared. Because it is no longer "Her Majesty's Government" but "CEO of Mc Donalds' Board of Directors" ...

    However, pro-individual doesn't mean approaching anarchy, it depends on the system itself. If anything, democracy makes it less-individual as the individual who had all that power no longer has it, but is shared out into wider society.
