guys, if you're going to link the article, it might be a good idea to only summarize it in your topic. It's a little easier on the eyes in my opinion. |
Allow me to summerize:
Anarchism is simply put the disestablishment of any organized government and allowing governence of the people by themselves. Anarchism is simply reducing government to its most basic component. Anarchism does not recognize the importance of centralized government.
Anarcho Syndicalism is putting the mechanics of government in the hands of those who produce. In other words the workers. It is direct democracy by working people.
In the past Anarcho Syndicalist Unions had wielded much power. Especially the IWW in the US and the CNT in Spain.
Anarchism can also take the form of Anarcho Libertarianism which supports the rights of individuals to engage in basically any form of behavior which does not harm others.
Theres is also anarcho communism, which is like Baukinin espoused, which endorses a primitive government based on loose communities. This was a popular idea in 19th century Russia.
Anarcho-pacifism supports a society of voluntary cooperatism. It renounces material wealth. In many respects this form of anarchism most resembles early christian society.
