Anarchism is a political philosophy that advocates for a society without government or hierarchical authority. Anarchists believe that people can organize themselves cooperatively and make decisions collectively, without the need for rulers or oppressive systems. They argue that true freedom comes from dismantling structures that impose control and inequality. Anarchism encompasses various movements and ideas, including anarcho-communism and anarcho-syndicalism. These branches emphasize different aspects of social organization, such as shared resources or workers' rights. Overall, anarchism seeks to create a more just and equitable society by promoting voluntary cooperation and mutual aid among individuals.
