What are characteristics of anarchy? I was going to use: 1) is it voluntary? 2) can you start a buisiness? A commune? 3) where is the power/obligation held?

Anarchy is any political system with no authority or hierarchy. There are no universal rules, and no government to enforce any rules. People are free to do as they choose. Anyone can do anything, and no one is stopping them. There are many sub-types of anarchist, and this is mainly due to economics. Anarchists disagree on what economic system should be used in an anarchist society, and there are several different ideas about which is best. Anarchist Communists believe in common ownership and democratic control of the means of production. Anarchist Mutualists believe in common or individual ownership of the means of production, that the value of products is defined by the amount of labour they take to produce, and that products should be traded for those of equal labour value. Anarchist Capitalists believe in the current economic system, but with the absence of the state. There are other forms of Anarchism which are not strongly influenced by economics, but rather other factors. Anarcho-Primitivism proposes that any system of society other than hunter-gatherer is the reason illegitimate authority, coercion, and hierarchy exist, and that modern technology should be abandoned. Anarcho-Transhumanism proposes the opposite, that anarchy must also include a transition of the human mind from the human body into an artificial replacement. Feel free to correct me if I got anything wrong.

I was more looking for short characteristics so that people can define anarchy and wht falls under anarchy. I know all the schools of anarchy and you did a wonderful job explaining them, thank you |
