It's pretty good, but Plato is far better:

>The third passage of the Parmenides is the most profound point to which Occidental metaphysics has ever advanced. It is the most radical advance into the problem of Being and time—an advance which afterwards was not caught up with [aufgefangen] but instead intercepted [abgefangen] (by Aristotle)
- Heidegger
>If the second half of his [Plato’s] Parmenides would be performed anew with today’s methods (and not Neoplatonically), then all bad metaphysics would be overcome, and the space would be open for a pure hearing of the language of Being.
- Karl Jaspers in a letter to Heidegger:

>Let this therefore be said, and let us also say the following, as it seems appropriate. Whether or not there is a unity, the unity itself and the manifold otherness, both in relation to themselves as well as to each other—all this, in every way, both is and is not, appears [phainetai] and does not appear. —This is most true [alēthestata].
- Final passage of the Parmenides

>Maximal truth has been attained when appearance and Non-being have been included within truth and Being. The dialogue literally leads to Nothing [Nichts]. . . . Thereby the question of Being has been transformed, everything is now otherwise. The on is both hen and polla, and it is hen, insofar as it is polla and vice versa. The One and the Many are only insofar as they are in themselves negative [nichtig].
- Heidegger's conclusion of his seminar on the Parmenides

Start with Plato to accustom your mind to metaphorical writing. Also, you will learn the importance of metaphysics and the search of objective truth; everything that does not fall in those categories it's false and deceiving.

What you seek it's not anarchism, but meaning, and you seek meaning to solve chaos. You would never find meaning in anarchism, because that would be like putting out a fire with gasoline.
Instead, i urge you to give a try to traditionalism. Read Nietzsche to understand the absolute state of the modern world and start from there; then read authors like Evola, Guenon and De Maistre. If you are a christian, then i would also recommend you "Orthodoxy" by G. K. Chesterton, "Christianity and Culture" by T. S. Eliot, and Von Balthasar's "The Christian state of Life". If you haven't yet, read Plato, especially the Republic.

You need to go far ahead from left, right, fascism or anarchism. Despise the tangible, embrace what it's transcendent. Then you will find true meaning.
