AnarchY

Anarchism is a movement dedicated to the abolition of illegitimate authority and the establishment of a social order without hierarchy. Proponents of the extent system equate its abolition with the abolition of all social order. In their time, Monarchists accused Republicans of seeking the destruction of all social order.

Anarchism has a long and rich tradition. Its philosophy and history begins with rejection of capitalism and its hierarchical structure. Through most of its history, libertarianism and anarchism were synonymous. Recently, some proponents of laissez faire economics have taken to calling themselves anarcho-capitalists and libertarians. This distortion is geographically limited to Austria and the Anglo-American countries.

Both the view of Anarchism as a Nihilist position admitting only destruction and the capitalist position of anarchism as purely political are grave misunderstandings of Anarchism.
