anarchist theory

Anarchist theory advocates for a society without hierarchical structures, especially the state, believing that people can self-organize cooperatively. Anarchists argue that rulers and governments often lead to oppression and inequality. Instead, they envision a decentralized system based on voluntary associations, mutual aid, and direct democracy, prioritizing individual freedom and collective responsibility. Anarchism challenges traditional power dynamics and seeks to empower communities to govern themselves, fostering a society where individuals collaborate harmoniously without coercion or authoritative control.
