Anarchism (Political Philosophy)

Anarchism is a political philosophy that advocates for a society without centralized authority or hierarchical structures, such as governments or large corporations. Its core belief is that individuals and voluntary communities can organize themselves freely and cooperatively, based on mutual aid, solidarity, and self-governance. Anarchists seek to eliminate coercive institutions that they see as unjust or oppressive, aiming instead for a society rooted in equality, freedom, and autonomy. While diverse in approaches, all anarchists share the hope of creating a world where authority is based on voluntary relationships rather than imposed power.
