Anarchism is about rejecting domination and expanding freedom for all, this often lines up with "backing the little guy." But not always. Sometimes the weaker party is a monster seeking worse domination who needs to be stopped. Sometimes the weaker party is just incorrect.

This is one of the things I think Iain Banks dragged pretty effectively into the light: we are working towards a future where anarchist values and norms are hegemonic. That means accepting big mean anarchist societies bullying little would be empires.

The instinct towards backing the little guy is valorous, provided that it's tempered by deeper anarchist ethics and active strategy. Otherwise you get folks backing nazis getting stomped by antifa, or praising North Korea simply because it's in conflict with the US empire.
