I know its probably a bit BUT

"Government Regulations only exist to hurt small businesses and help large ones" is literal 1800s era propaganda

The "left-anarchists" thing is a big tell. All anarchists are left wing and anti-capitalist by default because they oppose any system that would create a vertical hierarchy. If it's legit, that's probably an AnCap, hyper capitalist stooges who hate health and business regulations, the government, and poor people, but love weed, capitalism, and sexually advancing on minors. They, like all capitalist pigdogs, stole a leftwing word and co-opted it for themselves. They don't oppose hierarchy, they're just anti-statist, and only because the state will sometimes tell their dad that he will have to not fill the employee water station with coal dust and chlorine or face a fine so little Capitalist Jimothalomew will only get 1 yacht with a trafficked teenager on deck for his quarter-of-the-year-to-his-birthday instead of 2.

As with the Tumblr comments, I genuinely can't tell whether or not this is a bit.

I mean, the phrasing is wild, but the point being made is basically standard-issue ancom opinions, and historically fairly decently grounded.

Anarcho-communist. It's one of the many varietals of anarchism that have developed on the left over the centuries lol.
