Too Hip

In the political left there are many claimants to the hipmost position. I'm unsure how to rate leftness. Where on the chart do you put anarchists?  To the left of social democrats? To the right or left of Marxists?  How would you rate a union business agent?

Terry Southern wrote a short story about a white guy so deeply into jazz that black musicians couldn't stand him: the man was too hip.
