I, myself, am not persuaded by Nozick's arguments, but he is NO 
anarchist (his book was a critique of anarchism, and a defense of the 
minimalist state), and it is not quite correct to say that anarchists lack a 
class analysis.  Anarchists within Nozick's own camp (of sorts) have 
presented quite a developed class analysis that makes use of New Left 
revisionist history, Austrian economic theory, and other disparate 
theoretical elements.
