Anarchism (Bookshelf)

Anarchism is a group of political philosophies and attitudes which reject compulsory government and support its elimination, often due to a wider rejection of involuntary or permanent authority. Anarchism is "a cluster of doctrines and attitudes centered on the belief that government is both harmful and unnecessary." The term "anarchism" derives from the Greek αναρχία ("without archons," "without rulers").

There are many types and traditions of anarchism, but not all of them are mutually exclusive. Other than the description above, "there is no single defining position that all anarchists hold, and those considered anarchists at best share a certain family resemblance." Anarchists follow several different economic systems. Many favor libertarian communism, collectivist anarchism or participatory economics while others support free market systems like mutualism, agorism, or anarcho-capitalism. Anarchist schools may differ fundamentally, supporting anything from extreme individualism to complete collectivism.
