In a country were the government is oppressing peoples political freedoms you could be "anti-government" without believing in anarchy.
I can think our government is too large, or involves itself too much in our economic life, or even believe that free markets are preferrable without being an anarchist.
I believe that our government interfers too much in our economic life and our government has grown to large, but that does not mean I want to end government, or even come close to ending government.

Yes, but you are rational (on this issue, anyway). I would not characterize you as an "anti-government" type, or as a pseudo-libertarian fantasist, and I was not referring to you in my post to Captain.
