'''Anarchism''' is a [[political theory]] which aims to create [[anarchy]], '''"the absence of a master, of a sovereign."''' [[Pierre-Joseph Proudhon]], '''What is Property''', p. 264] In other words, '''anarchism''' is a [[political theory]] which aims to create a [[society]] within which individuals freely co-operate together as [[equality|equals]]. As such '''anarchism''' opposes all forms of [[hierarchy|hierarchical]] [[control]] - be that control by the [[state]] or a [[capitalism|capitalist]] - as harmful to the individual and their individuality as well as unnecessary.

The Shorter Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy. 2005. p. 14 "Anarchism is the view that a society without the state, or government, is both possible and desirable."</ref> and advocates a stateless society instead, often based on self-governed voluntary institutions or non-[[Hierarchy|hierarchical]] free associations.<ref>"In a society developed on these lines, the voluntary associations which already now begin to cover all the fields of human activity would take a still greater extension so as to substitute themselves for the state in all its functions."

This process of misrepresentation is not without historical parallel.

However, "'''anarchism'''" and "[[anarchy]]" are undoubtedly the most misrepresented ideas in [[political theory]]. Generally, the words are used to mean "[[chaos]]" or "without order," and so, by implication, [[anarchist|anarchists]] desire social chaos and a return to the "laws of the jungle."

While there are many different types of anarchism (from [[anarcho-individualism|individualist anarchism]] to [[anarcho-communism|communist-anarchism]] -- see section <a href="secA3.html">A.3</a> for more details), there has always been two common positions at the core of all of them -- [[opposition to government]] and [[opposition to capitalism]]. In the words of the [[anarcho-individualism|individualist-anarchist]] [[Benjamin Tucker]], anarchism insists on ''"the abolition of the State and the abolition of usury; on no more government of man by man, and no more exploitation of man by man."'' [cited in '''Native American Anarchism - A Study of Left-Wing American Individualism''' by Eunice Schuster, p. 140] All anarchists view [[profit]], interest and rent as '''usury''' (i.e. as [[exploitation]]) and so oppose them and the conditions that create them just as much as they oppose [[government]] and the [[state]].

More generally, in the words of [[L. Susan Brown]], the ''"unifying link"'' within anarchism ''"is a universal condemnation of hierarchy and domination and a willingness to fight for the freedom of the human individual."'' ['''The Politics of Individualism''', p. 108] For anarchists, a person cannot be free if they are subject to state or capitalist authority.
+

So anarchism is a [[political theory]] which advocates the creation of [[anarchy]], a society based on the maxim of ''"[[no rulers]]."'' To achieve this, ''"[i]n common with all socialists, the anarchists hold that the private ownership of land, capital, and machinery has had its time; that it is condemned to disappear: and that all requisites for production must, and will, become the common property of society, and be managed in common by the producers of wealth. And. . . they maintain that the ideal of the political organisation of society is a condition of things where the functions of government are reduced to minimum. . . [and] that the ultimate aim of society is the reduction of the functions of government to nil -- that is, to a society without government, to an-archy"'' [[Peter Kropotkin]], '''Op. Cit.''', p. 46]
+
−
 
+
−
Thus anarchism is both [[positive]] and [[negative]]. It [[analyses]] and [[critiques]] [[current society]] while at the same time offering a vision of a potential [[new society]] -- a society that fulfils certain [[human]] needs which the current one denies. These needs, at their most basic, are [[liberty]], [[equality]] and [[solidarity]], which will be discussed in <a HREF = secA2.html>section A.2</a>.
+
−
 
+
−
Anarchism unites critical analysis with hope, for, as [[Mikhail Bakunin|Bakunin]] pointed out, ''"the urge to destroy is a creative urge."'' One cannot build a better society without understanding what is wrong with the present one.

Anarchism is a political theory which aims to create anarchy, which is defined by Proudhon as "the absence of a master, of a sovereign."[1] In other words, anarchism is a political theory which aims to create a society within which individuals freely co-operate together as equals. As such, anarchism should not be defined as a "social chaos" or a return to the "laws of the jungle."

Anarchism holds that the state is undesirable, unnecessary, and/or harmful[2] and advocates a stateless society instead, often based on self-governed voluntary institutions or non-hierarchical free associations.[3] Anarchism rejects the state,[4][5] authoritarianism,[6] and hierarchical organisation in general.[7]

This process of misrepresentation is not without historical parallel. For example, in countries which have considered government by one person (monarchy) necessary, the words republic or democracy have been used in a manner similar to anarchy, to imply disorder, confusion and chaos. Those with a vested interest in preserving the status quo will obviously wish to imply that opposition to the current system cannot work in practice, and that a new form of society will only lead to chaos. Or, as Errico Malatesta expresses it:

since it was thought that government was necessary and that without government there could only be disorder and confusion, it was natural and logical that anarchy, which means absence of government, should sound like absence of order.[8]

Anarchists want to change this "common-sense" idea of anarchy, so people will see that government and other hierarchical social relationships are both harmful and unnecessary:

Change opinion, convince the public that government is not only unnecessary, but extremely harmful, and then the word anarchy, just because it means absence of government, will come to mean for everybody: natural order, unity of human needs and the interests of all, complete freedom within complete solidarity.[8]
  anarchism is a popular tag and you can find media on this topic on Tag

The meaning of anarchism[edit]

Voice of Freedom Radical Podcast logo only.png Echo of Freedom, Radical Podcast has a podcast related to this aticle
Hello, World! Anarchism, and I 		EoF
Kropotkin defines anarchism as "the no-government system of socialism."[9] Errico Malatesta elaborates on this point, stating that "the abolition of exploitation and oppression of man by man, that is the abolition of private property [capitalism] and government." [10]

Anarchism, therefore, is a political theory that aims to create a society which is without political, economic or social hierarchies. Anarchists maintain that anarchy, the absence of rulers, is a viable form of social system and so work for the maximisation of individual liberty and social equality. They see the goals of liberty and equality as mutually self-supporting. As Bakunin famously said:

We are convinced that freedom without Socialism is privilege and injustice, and that Socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality. [11]
