Line 41:
It all started in the 6th century BCE in China. [[w:Laozi|Lao Tzu]] and his writings are considered by anarchists and the like to be at least very libertarian writings. Him and [[w:Zhuang Zhou|Zhuang Zhou]] often questioned the legitimacy of the state and believed in something called non-rule where the ruler should do as little as possible and some people consider this an Anarchist goal.
===Wei-Jin period===
This period also called [[mh:philosophyball:Wei-Jin Metaphysics|Wei-Jin Metaphysics or XuanXue]]. During the Wei-Jin period of China a new generation Taoist thinkers had Anarchist leanings as they also questioned the legitimacy of the state. They were similar to [[File:Philan.png]] [[Philosophical Anarchism]] as they questioned its morality and were pacifist. This was also the period that gave birth to [[w:Pao Ching-yen|Pao Ching-yen]] who was explicitly Anarchist and deeply critiqued states authority and power.
