Revision as of 07:24, 10 October 2008
Social anarchism, socialist anarchism,[1] socialistic anarchism,[2] anarcho-socialism, anarchist socialism,[3] anarchistic socialism,[2] communitarian anarchism[4] anarcho-communitarianism,[5] collectivist anarchism,[6] collectivistic anarchism[7] or anarcho-collectivism (sometimes used interchangeably with libertarian socialism, socialist libertarianism, left-libertarianism,[8] left-wing libertarianism, left-anarchism,[9] or left-wing anarchism[9]), is an umbrella term used to differentiate two broad categories of anarchism, this one being the collectivist, with the other being individualist anarchism. Where individualist forms of anarchism emphasize personal autonomy and the rational nature of human beings, social anarchism sees "individual freedom as conceptually connected with social equality and emphasize community and mutual aid."[10] Social anarchism is used to specifically describe anarchist tendencies within anarchism that have an emphasis on the communitarian and cooperative aspects of anarchist theory and practice. Social anarchism includes (but is not limited to) some forms of libertarian socialism such as anarcho-collectivism, anarcho-communism, mutualism,[11] market anarchism,[12] anarcho-syndicalism and social ecology.
In the United States, the term "social anarchism" is used by the circle involved in publishing the Social Anarchism journal and has been promoted by the late Murray Bookchin. Bookchin identifies social anarchism with the "left," by which he refers to the "great tradition of human solidarity and a belief in the potentiality for humanness," internationalism and confederalism, the democratic spirit, anti-militarism, and rational secularism. However, religious anarchists and those on the Religious Left in general would object to identifying the left with "rational secularism" as there are and have been many powerful left-wing religious movements such as Liberation theology and the Civil rights movement. Social anarchism aims for "free association of people living together and cooperating in free communities."[13]
