Mormon anarchism is the type of Christian anarchism which draws on the Latter-day Saints' traditions to bring anarchist ideas to the world. Mormon anarchists normally do not criticise the hierarchy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or its institution, but they do challenge the idea that Mormons must be pro-war conservatives.
Van Wagenen writes "Every Mormon should look forward to the abolition of government, and the building of a socialist society based on free association and mutual cooperation." He was later criticised for using the word "anarchist" to define this new movement, some believe that it will simply make Mormons not hear anything that is being said.
