Thanks a lot for fixing this issue! I opened a MR based on it:

To be an anarchist only means that you believe that aggression is not
justified, and that states necessarily employ aggression. And, therefore,
that states, and the aggression they necessarily employ, are unjustified.
It's quite simple, really. It's an ethical view, so no surprise
it confuses utilitarians.
