Societies and Communities

The communities section lists places where face-to-face decision making is possible. This would include a small town or a neigbhorhood in a larger city.

The societies section lists confederations and networks of communities. For pages on societies, please use the following headings: Culture, Decisions, Economy, Environment, Crime, Revolution (if applicable), Neighboring Societies. These are based on the chapters of Anarchy Works.

For an anti-authoritarian and/or anarchist society, please add to Main Page the years of the society's existence and the number of members. For a society that is participatory but not anti-authoritarian and/or anarchist, please write the years of the society's existence and the number of members that experienced anarchy.

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.
