Anarchism

Anarchism is a political belief that no government should exist. Anarchists also believe that people's actions should never be forced by other people. A major question in Anarchism is, "What is consent"? Anarchists do not believe that people consent to be ruled by their government. Anarchism is "a cluster of doctrines and attitudes centered on the belief that government is both harmful and unnecessary."[1][2] The word "anarchism" is from the Greek αναρχία, which means "without rulers", not "without rule"; it is also sometimes translated as "without government". In the common language, the word anarchy is often used to describe chaos or anomie. However, anarchists usually do not want this. Rather, they define "anarchy" as a way of relations between people. They believe that, once put into place, these relations work on their own. Anarchists are usually opposed by the systems they wish to topple.
