'''Anarcho-Nihilism''' ('''AnNihil''' or '''AnNil''') is an [[File:UltraAn.png]] ultraradical anarchist ideology and a form of [[File:Anin.png]] [[Anarcho-Individualism]] that rejects all social institutions completely, including religion, law and restrictionsany completely.type of morality.
 
==Etymology==

Anarcho-Nihilists' views may somewhat diverge, but generally:<br>

Some Anarcho-Nihilists (Serafinski) take a pessimistic stance that political change won't happen in the visible time. Among these Nihilists [[File:Econil.png]] ecological pessimism and [[File:Misanthropy.png]] misanthropy are also popular. Other Nihilists (Flower Bomb), although disillusioned, still hope for the future feral life free from social institutions.
 
There's a great confusion between Anarcho-Nihilism and [[File:ExisNil.png]] [[w:Existential_Nihilism|existential nihilism]]. The latter is the philosophy denying all values, hence «meaninglessness of life». Meanwhile, «nihilism» in Anarcho-Nihilism means theradical rejectionrebellion ofagainst all social institutions and restrictions. Another common confusion is that between Anarcho-Nihilism and [[File:Schopenhauer.png]] [[w: Philosophical_pessimism|absolute pessimism]]. It's true that Anarcho-Nihilists are often depressed, but it doesn't mean they hate life; what they really hate is repressive structures being forced upon themcivilization.

Anarcho-Nihilism is close to [[File:Radape.png]] [[Radical Apoliticism]] exept Radical Apoliticism wants to eradicate political mentality as such, while Anarcho-Nihilism wants to destroy social institutions but still remains an ideology. Another difference is that Radical Apoliticism hates political institutions, but not necessarily '''all''' institutions (e. g. religion and morality), by contrast with Anarcho-Nihilism.

===Influences===
Modern Anarcho-Nihilism is influenced by [[File:Anego.png]] [[Anarcho-Egoism|Stirner's Egoism]] and Russian Nihilism. From Egoism it takes philosophical negation of social institutions and religionselfishness, from Russian Nihilism the inclination for active social disruption. Stirner opposed the notion of revolution which is seen as centralized and re-enslaving. Instead Stirner proposes an insurrection, that is, a spontaneous and decentralized revolt. In his book Stirner specifically notes that he means not a literal insurrection, but rather spitirual; however, his call for insurrection can be understood [[File:Insarch.png]] [[Insurrectionary Anarchism|quite literally]] as exemplified by Anarcho-Nihilists.
 
Another major influence for Anarcho-Nihilism is [[File:Illeg.png]] [[Illegalism|Anarcho-Illegalism]], of which Anarcho-Nihilism is a variant. «Orthodox» Egoists, including Stirner himself, tend to be reasonably law-abiding and careful. However, Anarcho-Illegalists reject all restrictions altogether, both moral and legal, what results in them committing mercenary crimes and (potentially) insurrections.

Anarcho-Nihilists are very similar in this respect, however, many illegalists are still Egoists who wish an establishment of the egoist society, while Nihilists are radical enough to put even Egoism under question, recognizing its [[File:Egosoc.png]] restrictive potential. Even egoist society isn't entirely free if egoism becomes a prescription, an institution. This is why Anarcho-Nihilism rejects all social institutions whatever they are.
 
Anarcho-Nihilism intersects with other [[File:Anpostleft.png]] [[Post-Leftism|post-left]] movements. For example, Anarcho-Nihilism is well compatible with [[File:Anprim.png]] [[Anarcho-Primitivism]] sharing with it the [[File:Anticiv.png]] hate for civilization. However, in such case a nihilist tends to be merely [[File:Egoprimf.png]] feral rather than a «noble savage»
