"We recognize that both anarchism and jazz are explorations of liminal space which are organized in a decentralized and non-authoritarian manner. As such, we seek to broaden and deepen these connections both by bringing jazz performance to left-organizing spaces and anarchist organizing principles to traditional live music spaces."

Ian Fletcher

Anarcho-Jazzism, alternatively Boltonism, is an off-the-compass libertarian left-wing ideology that follows one guiding principle: No Government, No Capitalism, Only Jazz.

Beliefs

AnJazz believes that both the capitalist system and the state only serve to steal Jazz from the masses and as such must be abolished. Anything that keeps the means of Jazz production from the workers is to be considered a spook.

Furthermore, AnJazz is culturally left-wing to a fault. It hates all things which represent tradition and capitalist and authoritarian including classical music and the realist movement.

Personality and Behavior

AnJazz is a laid back, cool ideology that's only in it for the jazz. He is a connoisseur of the history and meme culture of jazz, so he loves to make jazz references. He dislikes other types of music, seeing them as "statist".
