What is Anarchy?

"Anarchism does not mean bloodshed; it does not mean robbery, arson, etc. These monstrosities are, on the contrary, the characteristic features of capitalism. Anarchism means peace and tranquility to all."
--August Spies, Haymarket anarchist

Anarchism is a political philosophy which considers the state undesirable, unnecessary, and harmful, and instead promotes a stateless society, or anarchy. It seeks to diminish or even abolish authority in the conduct of human relations. Anarchists widely disagree on what additional criteria are required in anarchism. The Oxford Companion to Philosophy says, "there is no single defining position that all anarchists hold, and those considered anarchists at best share a certain family resemblance."

This is a collage of videos I put together to help me explain what anarchism is.

FASCISM MUST BURN!

Anarchy is not bad idea at all. But do we have enough people who can support it? Anarchy means freedom and freedom always interfers with safety. As I can see most people, especially older than 30 years (and world is getting older day after day) rather choose safety than freedom. By fredom I don't mean freedom of dspeach but freedom to choose from a lot of different options, freedom to take risks and freedom to pay for our own mistakes.
