We assume that government itself is a good thing otherwise there would be no reason to support it and to pay taxes to it. So then given that government by definition is a good thing there is no reason to oppress democracy by protecting the first-past-the-post system.
If government and democracy is not good then there might be a reason to protect the establishment by oppressing democracy but since there is no problem with democracy (and government) there is no problem with proportional representation. Proportional representation is fine because both government and democracy are objectively good. First-past-the-post is anti-state which is to deny the virtues of government.
First-past-the-post is anarchist only if the establishment which are retained in the absence of proportional representation are anarchist. If the establishment are not anarchist then fptp is not anarchist.
