Anarcho-Nihilism: Difference between revisions

'''Anarcho-Nihilism''' first appeared during the late 19th and early 20th century around the time of the Russian Revolution. [[w:Peter_Kropotkin|Peter Kropotkin]] defined nihilism as: "the symbol of struggle against all forms of tyranny, hypocrisy, and artificiality and for individual freedom." Nihilism is meant to bring down social structures in society that hold back the individual, and to Anarcho-Nihilists, this meant government. The Nihilist movement started to die out in Russia, but was revived by [[w:Leo_Strauss|Leo Strauss]] in 20th century Germany. Since then, Nihilist groups like the AIF have come to the front lines in order to try and revive the Nihilist movement.
