- anarchism
- beliefs
- humans once lived in a stateless society and can do again
- they want order + harmony
- they believe in direct democracy- representative democracy is a sham where voters collide in their own opression
- optimistic view on human nature- they are bad due to the corporations of the state+ establishment
- Humans all have the same philosophical goal of freedom
- The individual is sovereign- they are the sole judge of their own actions
- individuals will come together/ act independently when need be
- state is considerable
- the state is exploitive- it's taxation powers amount to legalised theft
- the state is a sovereign power body and is therefore by definition, untameable
- The state is coercive- it can impose lowest punishments upon individuals, sometimes even the death penalty
- The state is destructive- it wages devastating wars against states
- The state is compulsory- we did not opt to live under it and we cannot opt out of it (social contract theory is too delusional)
- state is unnecessary
- indeed the state, as an inherently coercive power, body will pervert peoples capacity for spontaneous social order+ harmony
- anarchists optimistic views of human nature lead them to conclude that humans do not need a stat to maintain social order+ harmony
- groups in anarchism
- collectivist- ultra socialists
- left wing, revolutionary, Utopian collectivists who have strong faith in human goodness and seek various forms of egalitarian society
- anarcho- communism advocacy of small, egalitarian and directly democratic communes, based on common economic ownership, with no state e.g. Peter Kropotkin
- anarcho- syndicalism a form of revolutionary trade unionism which, via a general strike, would establish workers' sydicates, with no state. e.g. James Guillaume
- individualist ultra liberalism
- individualists often advocate undiluted free-market economics- e.g. 'anarcho-capitalists'. This is, arguably, nineteenth- century liberalism pushed to its logical extreme
- Egoism ...the belief that the rational individual is at the centre of his or her moral universe, with absolute personal autonomy and no need of a state or any other source of control or authority e.g. Max Stirner
- anarcho-capitalism advocacy of a completely laissez-faire, private enterprise economy, with no state e.g. Murray Rothbard
- collectivist- ultra socialists
