Anarcho-Nihilism: Difference between revisions

 

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 the rejection of 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 them.
