John Brown was a deep Christian too, so I don't know maybe there is something to it after all.

That's actually a fairly complicated answer, regarding the Spanish Civil War. To my (very weak) understanding the Nationalists weren't strictly Christians, but were definitely supported by several different Christian factions which were vying for power. It's probably a lot more nuanced than that, and I'm just a stupid American with basically zero real knowledge of the Spanish Civil War.
Also, Christian anarchists actually aren't that unusual. Chris Hedges, for example, is a modern one. If I recall correctly, it's the argument that the only real Kingdom is the Kingdom of Heaven, and as such, human society should be completely non-hierarchical because we're all sinners. Which like, I don't believe in it, but I can vibe with that.
I'm an anti-authoritarian Christian, years ago I considered myself an anarchist but not now. My take is that the kingdom of heaven isn't at all the only kingdom, but rather the only eternal kingdom. There is real authority on earth but it should be used to lift people up and free people from bondage. But also there is no shortage of evil and oppression around, that is reality.
I think most Christians want good peaceful lives for all people but the misinformation, indoctrination, gaslighting, strawmanning and such give many of them terrible views on how to work towards that goal.
I think most governments are bloated and ineffective, self-serving and corrupt. Historically the best government is a good king who really cares for his people. But there have been very few of them and since most people with too much power are corrupted by it, I understand building in layers of accountability. We need to ensure that one of those doorstops for abuse is the every-man.
So Christians vs Christians, got it.
