Anarchism
- Origins
- Has connections with both
Liberalism and Socialism
as an extreme form of
either
- Part company with Liberals
over the belief that no (as
opposed to limited) authority
should be allowed to
restrain individuals
- Parts company
with Marxism over
their opposition to
the Dictatorship of
the Proletariat
- Part company with Liberals
over the belief that no (as
opposed to limited) authority
should be allowed to
restrain individuals
- Stems from the belief that people
such as Napoleon and Stalin
were the inevitable consequence
of allowing a popular revolution to
be captured by the state
- Thus believe that it
is impossible for
people to 'capture'
the state for good
purposes
- Thus believe that it

- Has connections with both

either
- Anti-Statism
- Anarchists believe that
any form of authority is
bad as any external
authority is tantamount
to opression
- Only form of authority that is
acceptable is one that is
volunteered for by the
individual. I.e. Learning a trade
from a master

- Anarchism have a
universal belief in the
Sovereign, Autonomous,
Rational Individual
- Rational humans need no external authority to make
decisions for them or to organise their activity.
- Believe that the sole reason for the existence of
hierarchy, authority and religion is to perpetuate the rule
of elites
- Anarchists believe that
any form of authority is
bad as any external
authority is tantamount
to opression
- Stateless Society
- Anarchism's belief
in a stateless society
is often described as
utopian
- Anarchists believe this
to be possible due to a
perfectiable view of
Human Nature
- Anarchistssee widespread
examples of alturism as an
example of true human
nature showing itself despite
the state
- Anarchistssee widespread

- Anarchism's belief

is often described as
utopian
- Political Practice
- They reject political parties
as a means to change society,
instead forming 'federations'
- Some Anarchists attempt to create
anarchist islands within current society,
these experiments often follow the
principles of Mutualism
- Mutualism is a view of how
production might be organised in an
anarchist society.
- In this society, producers
have the right to posses
the outcome of their
labour and the right to
posses in order to use
necessary means
- There would however, be some
free association of producers
beyond the family unit. This would
be a system of democratic
association of workers.
- The workers would
have an absolute
right to an equal
share of the output
of their enterprise

- Mutualism is a view of how

anarchist society.
- Other anarchists have attempted to overthrow the
state using revolutionary violence, however this was a
complete failure and their view of the state has led
them to either underestimate (Italy) or overestimate
(Spain) the problems in taking power and transforming
society
- They reject political parties
as a means to change society,
instead forming 'federations'
- Individualist Anarchism
- Places emphasis on the
individual and rationality and
is thus, an extreme form of
Liberalism
- Egoism - The belief that it is
morally right to do whatever
is in your own self interest.
- This version lent itself to
the free-market aspects of
economic liberalism and
then to what became
known as libertarianism
- This version lent itself to
the free-market aspects of
economic liberalism and
then to what became

- Libetarians hold that any state
authority is oppressive because it is
a restraint on the free excercise of
rational decision making by the
individual
- Social relations
should only be
regulated by freely
made contracts
between individuals
- Private Property is central
to this ideology, leading to
development of a sub
variant - Anarcho
Capitalism
- Social relations
should only be
regulated by freely
made contracts
between individuals
- Anarcho Capitalism is the most
extreme form of Individualist Anarchism
- Anarcho-Capitalists believe
that the liberty of rational
individuals can only be
guaranteed by the absence of
restraints on their ability to
enjoy their property.
- Since this means there
can be no taxation,
there can be no state
- All residual state functions
noted by Smith (Law and Order,
Justice, and defence) could be
carried out by individual
corporations
- Since this means there
can be no taxation,
there can be no state
- Anarcho-Capitalists believe
that the liberty of rational
individuals can only be
guaranteed by the absence of
restraints on their ability to
enjoy their property.
- Places emphasis on the
individual and rationality and
is thus, an extreme form of
Liberalism
- Collectivist Anarchism
- Belief that Humans are naturally social beings,
who spontaneously co-operate with each other.
There are two principal interpretations:
Anarcho-Communism and Anarcho-Syndicalism
- Anarcho-Communists
advocate the abolition
of private property and
the redistribution
according to need
- Production would be
carried out through
voluntary associations as
in other anarchist
traditions
- All Anarcho-Communist principles
are identical to conventional Marxism
with the exception to their opposition
to the Dictatorship of the Proletariat
- Production would be
carried out through
voluntary associations as
in other anarchist
traditions
- Anarcho-Syndicalism is a form of Anarchism
based on Trade Unions as the agent of
revolutionary change on basis of organisation
in society.
- Anarcho-Syndicalism also
wishes to abolish the
wage system
- These Trade Unions were
created, funded and controlled
by their members and could be
used as weapons against
Capitalism and the State
- Anarcho-Syndicalism also
wishes to abolish the
wage system
- Belief that Humans are naturally social beings,
who spontaneously co-operate with each other.
