Morphology

anarcho-Bolshevism = Bolshevism (transparent) = anarcho + Bolshevism

Etymology

Anarcho-Bolshevism combines anarcho- from anarchy meaning 'no rulers' and Bolshevism from Bolshevik, a Russian group whose name meant 'majority'. So, anarcho-Bolshevism is a political idea that tries to mix the anarchist wish for 'no rulers' with the Bolshevik aim of big social change.
