I find it hardly surprising, though. Both anarchists and right wingers share the same core values - extreme individualism, distrust of anything social, and visceral hatred of large organizations (in that sense, they are both petite bourgeois). The connection became quite clear to me after reading Graeber. However, there also seems to be another layer - aesthetic, as argued by Bourdieu in his book "Distinctions." Anarchists, but also many leftists and liberals, tend to come from bourgeois background and thus were socialized into a different set of aesthetic values than trade unionists with blue collar background. Oftentimes it comes down to wine and cheese vs beer and crackers but it also involves gender roles and views on the environment. My ex who used to work as a union organizer told me many stories about sexism of the union folk she was working with, which was quite offensive to her radical feminist sensibilities.
