the Canadian Federal (s)election is Monday Sept 20th, here are my thoughts. Anarchy is a situation in which a government either does not exist or has no authority or control over the people. The philosophy of anarchism suggests that societies can survive and thrive only when operating under alternatives to traditional government rule. While often misused in describing a state of violent lawlessness, chaos, and social collapse, anarchy is synonymous with concepts such as freedom, liberty, independence, and self-government. In theory, anarchism envisions a peaceful, kinder, and more equitable society. Key Takeaways: Anarchy -Anarchy is social and political theory calling for the replacement of government rule with a system of self-government and unlimited individual liberty. -Anarchy is also used negatively as a term describing violence, chaos, and social collapse. -The two main schools of anarchist thought are individualist and social.
