Left-wing anarchism

Left-wing anarchism is an extreme kind of left-wing libertarianism. It is a kind of politics that believes capitalism and the government both need to be removed. These anarchists want to end private property because they believe people who own it have unfair power over others. They want a future based on people working to help each other, instead of for money. But they want to make these things happen without using a government. It wants a society where there is no one in charge. Each person does what they need to without others to lead them.[1][2] Left-wing anarchism often means the same as socialist anarchism and libertarian socialism.[3][4] Left-wing anarchists have been a part of anti-globalization protests. For example, the protest in 1999 against the World Trade Organization in Seattle.[5]

Other types of anarchism

Ulrike Heider, a syndicalist, grouped anarchism into left-wing anarchism, right-wing anarchism (anarcho-capitalism), and green anarchism.[6] People who study anarchists, including Bryan Caplan and Murray Bookchin, do not agree with him. They say his research was not good enough.[7][8] Left-wing anarchism is distinguished from free-market anarchism[9] and right-wing anarchism (such as that of Murray Rothbard).[10]

  • Anarcho-capitalism is often not included as real anarchism. But it does combine capitalism with the belief in no government.
  • Individualism and egoism can be types of anarchism.[11] These kinds of anarchists believe they should be totally free to do what they want, with no police or government to stop them.
  • There is also a kind of anarchism called Post-leftism. It wants to rebel against left-wing politics from within left-wing ideas.
