Definition

  • Anarchism is a political philosophy named from the Greek word anarchos, which means “without a ruler.” The key tenets of anarchist thought are antiauthoritarianism and the formation of a new social order based on mutual collaboration and decision making. Advocates of anarchism see the elimination of the state and other forms of authority as part of a necessary progression toward the formation of a voluntary and self-sustaining society.
