Political compass for the21st century

Quite nicely, actually. There are no anarcho-securitarians or anarcho-nationalists because securitarianism and nationalism are statist ideologies by definition.

Other sectors have their anarchist counterparts:
-anarcho-capitalists, like Murray Rothbard
-anarcho-communists, working class anarchists like Mikhail Bakunin
-anarcho-inclusivists, like the hippies
-anarcho-theocrats like the Amish. Israel under the Judges was a good example of an anarcho-theocratic society. The poet William Blake would fit in this sector as well.

That's why anarcho-capitalism would lead to feudalism in practice. And other types of anarchy would lead to plain chaos. Anarcho-theocracy might be most practicable, but only when everybody is pious and agrees on the same faith.

Anarcho-syndicalists distrust the State and Big Business, Big Business eventually suppressing competition in favor of monopolization and bureaucratic power and the State often becoming a captured entity on behalf of monopolists, quasi-feudal elites, and warmongers. 
 
Anarcho-syndicalists depend upon voluntary organizations (which could be religious organizations) and small-scale co-operatives or family businesses to get things done. But how well such works depends upon how good people are and how competent they are at their tasks.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist  but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
