Anarchism does not have to be complicated. Anarchists should be against undue influence regardless of If the social institution is called a state or called something else. Ancom and ancap sometimes have silly debates over which groups anarchists should oppose (especially in regards to markets, businesses or corporations) but the goal should not be opposing groups but teaching people to resist Undue influence both psychologically and physically.
Sometimes a method to resist one form of Undue influence makes someone vulnerable to another and people should respect each other's preferences in this matter without having a fight over it and if necessary peacefully co exist in different separate but non hostile communities.
Hassan describes it as follows
Undue influence is any act of persuasion that overcomes the free will and judgment of another person. People can be unduly influenced by deception, flattery, trickery, coercion, hypnosis, and other techniques. In addition to religious cults, there are psychotherapy cults, political cults, commercial cults, terrorist organizations, and trafficking rings. There are also personality cults, particularly if one person exerts undue influence over another (or a small group of people, such as in a family).
There are groups which combine all or some of these elements, especially when the group is large and has a variety of “fronts” or other entities.
