"Absence of government; a state of lawlessness due to beliefs that people are inherently good and can organize themselves without government or bureaucracies; another type of political order."[1]
"A theoretical social state in which there is no governing person or body of persons, but each individual has absolute liberty (without the implication of disorder)."[2]
"Absence or non-recognition of authority in any given sphere."[3]
or, simply, (from Greek: an-, "without" and Greek: -archy, "leadership")
Without leadership. Hence, the common use of anarchism as a system of organization without leaders.

More applicable would be:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism
| Quote: |
Anarchism (from Greek αναρχία, "without archons," "without rulers")[1] is a political philosophy encompassing theories and attitudes which reject compulsory government[2] and support its elimination,[3][4] often due to a wider rejection of involuntary or permanent authority.[5] Anarchism is defined by The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Politics as "a cluster of doctrines and attitudes centered on the belief that government is both harmful and unnecessary."[6]
There are many types and traditions of anarchism,[7][8] not all of which are mutually exclusive.[9] According to one reference, "there is no single defining position that all anarchists hold," beyond their rejection of compulsory government, "and those considered anarchists at best share a certain family resemblance."[10] Anarchists hold different views as to the economic organisation of society; some favor libertarian communism, collectivist anarchism or participatory economics while others support free market systems like mutualism, agorism, or anarcho-capitalism.[11] Anarchist schools of thought may differ fundamentally, supporting anything from extreme individualism to complete collectivism.[12] |
(sorry, no time to deal with the many footnotes in the passage. See the linked wikipedia entry for direct citation.) |

Society in every state is a blessing, but government, even in its best stage, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.

I like your ideas, idea-man; they're fiendishly clever in their intricacies, and I would like to sign up for your broadsheet. |

No, you don't.
Look, I just seriously think Thomas Paine's main contribution was as cheerleader for the American revolution. Take his thoughts out of that context, and the content of the man's words pale in actual comparison to his influence on the creation of one of the most important powers in the world. |

It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds.
Samuel Adams
The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on Earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of man, but only to have the law of nature for his rule.

Much better. See how John Jay's elitism heads off his anarchism?

You know, you're pretty fast. Do you have a quote-book or something? Or is this all from memory? |
