Voluntarism

Voluntarism, within the context of anarchism, is the philosophy that all human interactions should be based on voluntary consent, without coercion or force. It emphasizes the importance of individual autonomy and the belief that people can organize their lives and communities through free association and cooperation. Rather than relying on a centralized authority or government, voluntarism advocates for decentralized decision-making, where individuals freely choose their relationships and commitments. This approach seeks to create a society built on mutual respect and cooperation, allowing people to govern themselves according to their own values and agreements.
