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!

Malatesta, Errico, "Towards Anarchy" in: Turcato, Davide (ed.) 2014, "The Method of Freedom, AK Press, pp. 299

But it's important to take into consideration the meaning of the terms employed. Voltairine, after all, also said:

(Anarchists) are firm in the idea that the system of employer and employed, buying and selling, banking, and all the other essential institutions of Commercialism, centred upon private property, are in themselves good, and are rendered vicious merely by the interference of the State.

Voltairine de Cleyre, Anarchism. Originally published in Free Society, 13 October 1901. Published in Exquisite Rebel: The Essays of Voltairine de Cleyre, edited by Sharon Presley, SUNY Press 2005, p. 224.

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.

Fred Woodworth, An essay by Fred Woodworth in Avrich, Paul (2006). Anarchist Voices. Stirling: AK Press. p. 475.

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.

International Relations

Since world doesn't have any worldwide government, many theorists of international relations studies use the word anarchy to describe the order of the international system—independent states with no central authority above them. On this foundation was developed 4 schools of thought: Realism, Neorealism, Liberalism, Neoliberalism.

Relationships

Friendly (literally every anarchist)

Frenemies

  • Anarcho-Monarchism - My weird monarchist child.
  • Anarcho-Fascism - What!?
  • Federalism & Confederalism - Every local town, city, commune, etc should have self-determination, but become anti-authority as a whole and we're good.
  • Kakistocracy - THIS IS WHAT EVERY GOVERNMENT BOILS DOWN TO! But at least you serve to further my goals.
  • Anarcho-Totalitarianism - Ok, I think this is starting to become a serious problem.
  • Anti-Fascism - You hate fascists, yet you don't fully embrace Anti-Authoritarianism. Curious.
  • Accelerationism - Nyooom the state!
  • Avaritionism - You’re just a psychopathic serial killer who pretends to be anarchist. But I don't hate you that much.
  • Hydrarchy - You don't call yourself anarchist, but your society really wasn't bad tbh.
  • Anti-Japaneseism - Destroying the Japanese state? What about destroying all states? Also advocating for ethnic genocide is a pretty weird thing for an anarchist to do.
  • Libertarian Possibilism - You can't abolish the state by reforms.
  • Mao-Spontex - Huh?
