As explained on the [[Main Page]], we sort examples of anarchy into four main categories: Anarchist, anti-authoritarian, participatory, and autonomous. '''Anarchism''' refers to a political theory and practice that arose in the 19th century, aimed at abolishing coercive hierarchy and establishing a libertarian socialist society in its place. '''Anti-authoritarianism''' refers to a broader category of politics including groups such as the Wobblies and Zapatistas that oppose coercive hierarchy but do not call themselves anarchists. Third, a '''participatory'''' category includes examples such as ancient Athens where anarchy is extended to many but not to all or even necessarily to most of society. Participatory politics encompasses anti-authoritarianism, which encompasses anarchism. Finally, the '''autonomous''' category refers to self-governed communities that shift power relations in an anti-authoritarian ''direction'', | As explained on the [[Main Page]], we sort examples of anarchy into four main categories: Anarchist, anti-authoritarian, participatory, and autonomous.

Categories
As explained on the Main Page, we sort examples of anarchy into four main categories: Anarchist, anti-authoritarian, participatory, and autonomous. Anarchism refers to a political theory and practice that arose in the 19th century, aimed at abolishing coercive hierarchy and establishing a libertarian socialist society in its place. Anti-authoritarianism refers to a broader category of politics including groups such as the Wobblies and Zapatistas that oppose coercive hierarchy but do not call themselves anarchists. Third, a participatory' category includes examples such as ancient Athens where anarchy is extended to many but not to all or even necessarily to most of society. Participatory politics encompasses anti-authoritarianism, which encompasses anarchism. Finally, the autonomous category refers to self-governed communities that shift power relations in an anti-authoritarian direction, such as the Paris Commune, which fell short of participatory governance.
