Welcome to AnarchyinAction.org!

A work-in-progress, AnarchyinAction.org will be a resource for anyone to research and write about how and when anarchy can work. Anarchy, coming from the Greek words an (without) and archos (ruler) refers to a situation without domination, without coercive hierarchy. We have collected hundreds of examples of anarchy in practice, many of them from the following works:

An Anarchist FAQ (excerpt)

Anarchy in Action by Colin Ward

Anarchy Works by Peter Gelderloos

Cartography of Revolutionary Anarchism by Michael Schmidt

Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution by Peter Kropotkin

People Without Government: An Anthropology of Anarchy by Harold Barclay

The Politics of Social Ecology: Libertarian Municipalism by Janet Biehl with Murray Bookchin (excerpt)

We sort the examples by their scale and focus. The list of societies encompasses confederations of residential communities. The list of communities includes communes, towns and neighborhoods small enough for people to make face-to-face decisions. The movements and uprisings category includes large-scale movements, rebellions, campaigns and mobilizations. The organizations category includes groups and their federations. Everyday anarchy lists anarchic projects and phenomena that exist all around us even in capitalist societies. Playfully but still seriously, we add two further categories. In a nod to the naturalist Peter Kropotkin who saw cooperative activity as a factor of evolution, we add nonhuman anarchy to explore power relations in nonhuman animal and ecological communities. Lastly, we add the category of fictional anarchy, which includes, for example, the planet Anarres from Ursula K. LeGuin's novel The Dispossessed.

Types of anarchy. 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 do not necessarily call themselves anarchists but oppose coercive hierarchy and attempt to eliminate it. 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.

We also sort these examples into four main organizational categories. 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 do not necessarily call themselves anarchists but oppose coercive hierarchy and attempt to eliminate it. 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. By looking for anarchy beyond self-identified anarchist projects, we aim to respond to Maia Ramnath's call in Decolonizing Anarchism to locate anarchism "as one contextually specific manifestation among a larger-indeed global-tradition of antiauthoritarian, egal­itarian thought/praxis".[1]

In our articles, we try to explore how horizontal societies and communities deal with culture, decisions, economy, environment, crime, revolution, and neighboring societies. We do not claim or attempt to present evidence that anarchy is possible in all situations. Nor do we deny humans' innate potential for hierarchy and indeed for extreme cruelty. We present this resource for curious and open-minded people to collaboratively explore the question of whether a horizontally-run world is possible and what this world might look like.

AnarchyinAction.org is a project of Capitalism vs. the Climate and of our friends at Get Libre, the Wesleyan University Infoshop, and elsewhere. If you would like to get involved, please email dfischer@riseup.net.

Communities

"The Europeans also imposed their own legal, administrative and security systems in order to meet the needs of the new monetized economies and the more active modern states. All this meant a painful disruption of the familiar communalism of the past. Land now became a mere possession, food a mere commodity of exchange, neighbor a mere common property owner and labor a mere means of survival."-L.S. Stavrianos[4]

"The current theory as regards the village community is, that in Western Europe it has died out by a natural death, because the communal possession of the soil was found inconsistent with the modern requirements of agriculture. But the truth is that nowhere did the village community disappear of its own accord; everywhere, on the contrary, it took the ruling classes several centuries of persistent but not always successful efforts to abolish it and to confiscate the communal lands."-Peter Kropotkin[5]

Movements and Uprisings

"If we had surrendered, if we had sold ourselves, we would no longer have been poor, but others would have continued to be so." -Subcomandante Marcos[6]

"People have done horizontal, or non-hierarchical, organization all their lives. It is already there in my culture and the way Palestinian activism has worked. During the First Intifada, for instance, when someone's home was demolished, people would organize to rebuild it, almost spontaneously. As a Palestinian anarchist I look forward to going back to the roots of the First Intifada. It did not come from a political decision. It came against the will of the PLO." -Beesan Ramadan[7]

Organizations

"SNCC without knowing about anarchism as philosophy embodied the characteristics of anarchism." -Howard Zinn[8]

"The real question at issue is not organization versus non-organization, but rather, what kind of organization. What different kinds of anarchist organizations have in common is that they are developed organically from below, not engineered into existence from above." -Murray Bookchin[9]

Most of the membership numbers come from Michael Schmidt's Cartography of Revolutionary Anarchism and refer to peak rather than current membership.

Nonhuman Anarchy

"The forest has always been my teacher in peace, in diversity in democracy. Diverse life forms, small and large, moving and immobile, above ground and below, with wings, feet or leaves, find their place in the forest. The forest teaches us that in diversity lie the conditions of peace, the realization of democracy." -Vandana Shiva[11]

"Indeed, anarchism can be illustrated with the example of ecosystems. Both are composed of separate but interdependent living organisms that evolve in endless variations to meet their needs." - scott crow[12]
