What is anarchism and who can be considered an anarchist?
In: Other
Anarchism at it’s core is a political philosophy which believes in the abolition of all unjust hierarchies, usually considering the state to be one.
Of course, I am an anarchist so my description may be a bit biased.
How you define the state is where things get tricky though, because anarchy doesn’t necessarily mean a lack of authority (some hierarchies are just, like parent-child authority).
An example of a state would be the Commonwealth of Australia, with the Australian government being a governemtn, and Australia being both a land mass and a Nation (which is a piece of land inhabited by a mostly homogenous ethnicity)
