Anarchist?

Couldn't find a definitive association so I removed the category but wanted to share what little I did find:

... Alexander William Bickerton, who was said to be an eccentric anarchist and a friend of Chropotokin.
— Kano & Ward 2014, p. 100

One defender of anarchism in the NZ Times was Alexander Bickerton, a professor of chemistry at Canterbury College, Christchurch. Although a self-described state socialist, on trips back to England Bickerton had met Kropotkin, the Italian anarchist Errico Malatesta, and French anarchist educationalist Paul Robin. According to Frank Prebble, Bickerton "became convinced that genuine communism would be easier to obtain than any steps taken towards it."
