Anarchism

What

Anarchy literally means ‘without rulers’. Anarchism I think of as a political philosophy meaning ‘avoiding all unnecessary hierarchy’.

anarchism represents a theorisation of how society can be structured to enable [[liberty]] and [[solidarity]], a society based on the principle of [[mutual aid]], where the needs of all are met through [[cooperation]] and the [[sharing of resources]].

History

Anarchism emerged in the 19th century.

Anarchism emerged, as Ruth Kinna and Alex Prichard argue, in the 19th century, from a critique of [[slavery]] and [[private property]], and how both were made possible by the [[state]].

Criticism

Anarchism is often dismissed in the same terms as [[post-structuralism]] for being an ethical relativism or a voluntarist chaos.
