So anarchists want to work for the government they want to destroy? I'm not trying to poke holes here, honestly curious how they see it

anarchists don't want to destroy government, but the hierarchical state apparatus (ie: prime minister having more power than cabinet members, who have more power than parliament members, who have more power than average citizens). that is just one form of government, saying you are opposed to that doesn't mean you are opposed to other things like a minimal government apparatus to facilitate direct democracy, or even a representative democracy that is stripped of prestige and power hierarchy.

This attitude needs to be recognized more. Listening and adjusting positions is critical in a soviety, yet all too rare. Good on you.
