Difference between revisions of "nationalist anarchism"

Revision as of 20:46, 30 December 2007

Anarcho-nationalism is a concept that derives from Ancient Greece and in particular autonomist philosopher Zeno. Anarcho- nationalists believe in autonomy of different region based on the ancient Greek system of Cities- "States". The difference with the other anarchists is that while other anarchists (Anarcho-communists etc) are internationalists , anarcho-nationalists are strongly nationalists ( but without being racists). This again derives from the ancient greek patriotism. In short anarcho-nationalism derives from the ancient Greek autonomy , but it rejects ancient Greek economy and having traces of exploitation, imperialism and a market economy. Anarcho- nationalists are Collectivists. So they combine collectivsm , with ancient Greek autonomism and patriotism. An example of anarcho- Nationalists in the recent years are anarchists in Catalonia who were very patriotic and nationalistic.
