Free Software Movement

The Free Software Movement is an example of an emergent movement with anarchist characteristics. The nature of the GPL and many other free licenses is such that there is a collective sharing of resources (in this case, source code) between all developers, thus putting into practice the theories behind anarcho-socialists' perspective on private property and economic organization.
