Anarchy

Anarchists are those who believe that all people are imbued with a sort of commonality, common sense, that would allow for people to, in the absence of the government, come together in agreement to form a functional existence. Morality falls in line with functionality, and its forms differ. Anarchy does not reject ethics, or principles, but rather imposed morality.

The Circle-A is a well known symbol of modern Anarchy.The rise of anarchism as a philosophical movement occurred in the mid 18th century, with its notion of freedom as being based upon political and economic self-rule. It was a reaction to the rise of the nation-state and large-scale industrial capitalism, and the corruption that came with their successes.

Although anarchists are unified in the rejection of the state, they differ about economic arrangements and possible rules that would prevail in a stateless society, ranging from complete common ownership and distribution according to need, to supporters of private property and free market competition. For example, most forms of anarchism, such as that of anarcho-communism, anarcho-syndicalism, or anarcho-primitivism not only seek rejection of the state, but also other systems which they perceive as authoritarian, which includes capitalism, wage labor, and private property.

When used by non-anarchists, the word "anarchy" is often used as a pejorative; intended to connote a lack of control and a negatively chaotic environment. The association is so strong in mainstream society that some anarchists prefer the term, "anarchism." The question of forgoing the use of either term in favor of "libertarian socialist" (primarily during the late 19th century,) or the more modern, "anti-authoritarian," remains a topic of debate. The word "anarchy", as most anarchists use it, does not imply nihilism, anomie, or the total absence of rules, but rather an anti-authoritarian society that is based on voluntary association of free individuals in autonomous communities, operating on principles of mutual aid, voluntary association, and direct action.

Anarchy is utopic. Do not believe in anarchy
