'''Mutualism''', also called '''Proudhonism''' or '''Anarcho-Mutualism''' ('''AnMut'''), is an economically left-wing (but pro-market), Anarchist and culturally variable ideology primarily based upon the writings of [[w:Pierre-Joseph Proudhon|Pierre-Joseph Proudhon]].

Additionally, he is strongly in favour of individual liberty and can be seen as the unifying ideology between the social, individualist, and market schools of anarchist thought, and was highly influential in the development of other anarchist ideologies that came after it.

 

In a general sense, mutualism can be considered the original anarchy since the mutualist [[w:Pierre-Joseph_Proudhon|Pierre-Joseph Proudhon]] was the first person to identify himself as an [[Anarchism|anarchist]].

 

According to ''[https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/mutualists-org-a-mutualist-faq A Mutualist FAQ]'', mutualism was "the original form taken by the labor movement, first in Great Britain and shortly thereafter in France and the rest of Western Europe. Both mutualist practice and theory arose as part of the broad current of working class radicalism in England, from around the time of the publication of Paine's ''Rights of Man'' and the organisation of the first Societies of Correspondence in the 1790s, to the Chartist movement. Mutualism existed for some time as a spontaneous working class practice before it was formalised in theory."

 

Mutualism is known to reject traditional currency, instead proposing an alternative system based upon "labour notes", which is sometimes used as a running joke. He often attempts to unify the left and right anarchists through his proposed mix of socialism and a market economy, to varying degrees of success. Sometimes, his relative obscurity is played upon in comics ("what actually is mutualism?").

 

However, he seems somewhat ashamed of these past mistakes, having been heard saying "my ideal society would have sent me to the guillotine for being too conservative".

*[[File:Cosmo.png]] [[Cosmopolitanism]] - "There will no longer be nationality, no longer fatherland, in the political sense of the words: they will mean only places of birth.
