insurrectionary anarchism

Insurrectionary anarchism is a branch of anarchist thought that advocates for direct, often disruptive action to overthrow oppressive systems and achieve social change. It opposes centralized authority, capitalism, and existing institutions, emphasizing immediate resistance through activities like protests, sabotage, and rebellion. Its core belief is that gradual reform is insufficient, and that spontaneous, grassroots uprising is necessary to dismantle hierarchical structures and promote a stateless, self-managed society. This approach values personal autonomy, revolutionary impulse, and continuous opposition to authority as pathways to social emancipation.
