not the first person I would have thought of in that connection...
Proudhon, Malatesta, Spooner, Rothbard, Tucker
...Robert Anton Wilson, maybe...

In AtD, robin's pointed out, Nookshaft may embody some of Crowley's
characteristics,
and Nookshaft is bound up with the British Empire at least via Crouchmas.
Crowley, it's thought, both spied and wrote propaganda for the British
spy machine in WWI, so wasn't exactly hostile to the State per se.

However, his plans for Thelema and OTO indicate that he was picturing
an international Organization (like the Chums?)
to which individuals could belong, subsist in,
donate significant moneys and property to, and to which they would
be perhaps more loyal to & involved with, than any nation-state...
so in that respect, I find grounds for agreement with your statement.

Is that what you are referring to?
