Anarchism
Anarchism, also known as Anarchy, Anarchy without Adjectives or Mother Anarchy, is an ideology inhabiting the bottom of the political compass that advocates for a society without rulers or constituted authority.
She is the mother of countless anarchist ideologies and is known to love all of her children except for some failed children. Unlike most other balls, whose gender is undefined, Anarchism is always female and wears a grey bow, as a reference to the Russo-Ukrainian anarchist song, Анархия-мама Сынов Своих Любит (Eng: Mother Anarchy Loves Her Sons).[1]
History
Anti-Capitalist or not?
The first individuals to describe themselves as Anarchists without adjectives were thoroughly anti-capitalist, with Anarchist without Adjectives Voltairine de Cleyre saying in 1907:
The hells of capitalism create the desperate; the desperate act - desperately!
However historical context is necessary, as these statements predate modern Anarcho-Capitalism, and with modern Anarchists without adjectives such as Fred Woodworth instead saying:
I have no prefix or adjective for my anarchism. I think syndicalism can work, as can free-market anarcho-capitalism, anarcho-communism, even anarcho-hermits, depending on the situation.
Personality and Behaviour
Anarchy is a mother and therefore portrays quite motherly traits within the comics, but because she is Anarchist, she can be quite lax in her parenting.
