Similar, myself. I consider myself an anarchist, mostly in line with anarcho-sydicalism and am a "no first strikes" pacifist. But, I see value in ideas from across the (leftist) spectrum and would argue that MLs and similar may be more realistically feasible in a lifetime scale as I do not think humans are currently in a cultural or psychological state of evolution where a global anarchic society would be sustainable in the face of bad actors.
I also acknowledge that historical victories for the people have usually been accomplished with a "hammer and anvil" of violence and non-violence, and don't think that that has changed as much as I'd like (or hoped when I was younger). It will take all kinds to move our species forward. Maintaining our humanity and humanizing even our enemies is vital, I think, to achieving the society that we want to live in.
