	Anarchism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anarchism comprises various political philosophies, political organisations and social movements that advocate the elimination of the State, and what are believed to be authoritarian social and economic relationships.
		Individualist anarchism is a philosophical tradition that opposes collectivism and has a particularly strong emphasis on the supremacy and autonomy of the individual.
		Insurrectionary anarchism is not an ideological solution to all social problems, a commodity on the capitalist market of ideologies and opinions, but an on-going praxis aimed at putting an end to the domination of the state and the continuance of capitalism, which requires analysis and discussion to advance.

	The Negativity of Anarchism - David Weick
		Anarchism can be understood as the generic social and political Idea that expresses negation of all power, sovereignty, domination, and hierarchical division, and a will to their dissolution; and expresses rejection of all the dichotomizing concepts that on ground of Nature, Reason, History, God or other, divide people into those dominant and those justly subordinated.
		Anarchism then is the social and political philosophy that proposes the eradicating of all divisions between (political) haves and havenots, the dissolving rather than the redistributing of power; and the abolishing of identities of ruler and subject, leader and led, learned and ignorant, superior and inferior, master and servant, human and inhuman.
		Anarchism rather than Marxism may be capable of sustaining a conception of genuine social dialectic, for Marx's theory of superstructure and the primacy of impersonal economic forces inhibits, if it does not entirely rule out, an apprehension of continuous interplay among the many arenas of politics and liberation.

	Chomsky on Anarchism
		I tend to agree that anarchism is formless and utopian, though hardly more so than the inane doctrines of neoliberalism, Marxism-Leninism, and other ideologies that have appealed to the powerful and their intellectual servants over the years, for reasons that are all too easy to explain.
		Anarchism, in my view, is an expression of the idea that the burden of proof is always on those who argue that authority and domination are necessary.
		As I understand the term "anarchism," it is based on the hope (in our state of ignorance, we cannot go beyond that) that core elements of human nature include sentiments of solidarity, mutual support, sympathy, concern for others, and so on.

	Proudhon's Libertarian Thought and the Anarchist Movement by L. Gambone
		The history of anarchism is usually treated as a linear progression from the formative period of Proudhon to Bakunin's collectivism, then on to anarchist communism and syndicalism.
		Yet, Proudhon's anarchism was rational, non-violent and anti-utopian.
		Anarchism, as it was originally conceived, had been turned into its opposite.

		Anarchism as defined in Oxford Dictionary, is “The theory or doctrine that all forms of government are unnecessary, oppressive, and undesirable and should be abolished.”
		Anarchism in its pure form is a political theory, which primarily aims in establishing a society, which is bereft of political, economic or social hierarchies.
		But the anarchist always defends that anarchism is based on sound principles of individual enrichment without the coercive intervention of a government or authority.

		Anarchism is defined by The American Heritage College Dictionary as "The theory or doctrine that all forms of government are unnecessary, oppressive, and undesirable and should be abolished." Anarchism is a negative; it holds that one thing, namely government, is bad and should be abolished.
		Anarchism of this sort is a kind of ideal dream, which is beautiful and inspiring to contemplate while we pursue more concrete aims.
		Sometimes the utopian charge is trivial; if, for example, any radical change is labelled "utopian." If on the other hand "utopian" simply means that anarchism could work if and only if all people were virtuous, and thus in practice would lead to the imposition of new forms of oppression, then the question is more interesting.

		Since Proudhon's conception of anarchism was the original, and the others were derived from it, if the later varieties differed significantly from the original, perhaps there was a necessity to question whether these differences were of a positive or "progressive" nature.

		Utopian anarchism is a system of coordination in which the main goal, or goals, of the freely formed group are clearly laid out and focused upon, making all other aspects of life guided to further advancement towards these goals.
		Many find the lack of personal safety disturbing in such a system, however, faith that others will approve, or at least tolerate of your ideas should not be that difficult if one is pure of heart.

	Sydney Libertarianism - A.J. Baker
		All this conflicts with the hopeful belief of the utopian anarchist that by education and rational persuasion men can be led to decide on the formation of a free society.
		"Anarchism without ends" indicates that there are anarchist-like activities such as criticising the views of authoritarians, resisting the pressure towards servility and conformity, having unauthoritarian sexual relationships, which can be carried on for their own sake, here and now, without any reference to supposed future ends.
		The utopian picture of a future free society would not even be intelligible to us if we were not already acquainted with examples of unauthoritarian activities in our present society.

		None of this is utopian or anarchist, though it is a good slur to throw at them, as they have no defense, since the only things they want to do with state power are bad things, about which they can hardly brag.
		anarchism is a social philosophy that arose within the socialist movement as a critique of the authoritarian nature of marxism in the early 1800's.

	Don't Call Me A Utopian, by Fred Godinez -- anti-state.com
		You see, utopianism has shown itself to be a sanguinary creed, and I find repugnant the idea of being associated with it in any way.
		While we may tend to dismiss utopians as harmless "frogpondians" (to use Edgar Allen Poe's properly derogatory term for the utopian mystics of his day), and their cogitations as mere eccentric fancy, we would do well to remember that some utopians have taken their fanciful pipe-dreams very seriously, usually with disastrous (and thoroughly dystopian) results.
		In fact, the sins of militant utopianism are far too numerous even to adumbrate here, and I shall not attempt to do so (for an excellent, though by no means exhaustive survey, the strong of stomach may wish to consult The Black Book of Communism by Stephane Courtois, et al.

	Pierre-Joseph Proudhon and Anarchism: Proudhon's Libertarian Thought and the Anarchist Movement, by Larry Gambone
		When I finally read his works, far from appearing "inconsistent" or "not quite an anarchist", the "Sage of Besancon" had created a practical and anti-utopian anarchism--an anarchism based upon a potential within actually existing society and not a doctrine or ideology to be imposed from outside.
		So Anarchism was absolutized into a pure utopia--a far cry from Proudhon's realistic conception.
		Anarchism took more than twenty years to get back on its feet after the disastrous "propaganda of the deed" period.

	Notes on Anarchism
		Rudolf Rocker describes modern anarchism as "the confluence of the two great currents which during and since the French revolution have found such characteristic expression in the intellectual life of Europe: Socialism and Liberalism." The classical liberal ideals, he argues, were wrecked on the realities of capitalist economic forms.
		Anarchism is necessarily anticapitalist in that it "opposes the exploitation of man by man." But anarchism also opposes "the dominion of man over man." It insists that "socialism will be free or it will not be at all.
		From this point of view, anarchism may be regarded as the libertarian wing of socialism.

		To be sure, there is a difference between individualistic anarchism and collectivistic or communistic anarchism; Bakunin called himself a communist anarchist.
		The conservative critique of anarchism is much less developed, but can be teased out of the writings of such authors as Edmund Burke, Russell Kirk, and Ernest van den Haag.

		In particular, such a state cannot regulate what citizens eat, drink, or smoke (since this would interfere with their right to use their self-owned bodies as they see fit), cannot control what they publish or read (since this would interfere with their right to use the property they've acquired with their self-owned labor - e.g.
		It might be thought that given Nozick's premises, no state at all, minimal or otherwise, could be justified, that full-blown anarchism is what really follows from the notion of self-ownership.
		The minimal state thus constitutes a "framework for utopia" - an overarching system within the boundaries of which any number of social, moral, and religious utopian visions may be realized.
